If that doesn't display epic chemistry with star linemate Phil Kessel, nothing does. Lupul does a little bit of everything right but wouldn't be an elite fantasy asset without Kessel as his partner in crime. The pair collected a point on the same goal 44 times last season. Only Evgeni Malkin and James Neal, Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin, and John Tavares and Matt Moulson combined more times in the NHL. It's hard to imagine Lupul finishing with more than 80 points in a full season, especially with the Leafs still lacking a true playmaking centerman. But no matter how it shakes out, Lupul's value is still tied to that of Kessel, and stars by association come with enough risk to draft them lower than the stats might deserve.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.8,"playerRater15DAY":1.5,"positionRank":58}
