I enjoy Lupul's game no doubt about that, but would you honestly take him over 10-12 of the players in this list? I wouldn't.

He had a great year in 2011-12 and hit a high of 67 points, but before his career high was his rookie year. Just saying I have my concerns with the deal as is. The NTC thing is happening more and more. Something that I wouldn't give to anyone unless your an absolute star in the league.
3 players on that list would I take over him
