Depends on what you're looking for - a great player that is a pretty good fighter ala Iginla, or a very good fighter that is an okay player....

Since this is HF.com, I think the obvious answer is Lucic.

Hey Big J, just a thought here but Lucic's numbers in every way are better that Iggys in his second season...

iggy..70 13 19 32 -10 29 3 fights

lucic...72 17 25 42 17 136 11 fights

Good comparison, although Iggy had 21 goals and 50 points in his rookie season, numbers that Lucic has achieved yet. Iggy also went up to 28 goals in his third year. I don't know that Lucic is on that arc - he needs to break 20 first.

Iggy did'nt fight anyone of note this year so Lucic kicks his ass in that regard. Overall offensivly, Iggy is the better offensive player both now and at similiar times in their respective careers. I voted for Lucic because he still has room to grow offensively and fight wise(for an offensive player)he trumps Iggy. Either way though is a good pick.

Lucic has the potential to win this award for years to come.

Relatively easy choice. Lucic is skilled and a tough fighter who should try to fight more against HWs. Too bad not many power-forwards are capable beating HWs nowadays. In the 90s there were guys like Primeau, Lindros or Shanahan who were pretty decent fighters and they beat some HWs in their primes. Nowadays? Not many of them.

From these group of guys Lucic is clearly the best.

If this award was for the Best Skilled Player That Fights I'd agree with you. But Looch is the Best Fighter Thats Skilled and and therefore IMO deserves this one.

I don't think even the Looch haters can deny him this award.

I actually went with Iginla on this one, I just like his overall package that he has to offer the Flames.
