Imagine how Canucks fans feel about them

Lucic is absolutley a power forward. The reason I wouldn't put him as one of the best power forwards is because he lacks skating ability and does not have the scoring touch of a Perry or Ovechkin ect.
- fiveandagame

Fair points. I but i would certainly put him in the top 5. He is unstoppable at times and has put up 30 goals

I never said once he wasn't a power forward. Just stated the obvious that he isn't near the best. As I said to many weaknesses in his game.

Perry is far better. I expect my power forward to back check, Lucic doesn't know what that even means. I expect my top power forward in the NHL to be a bonafide 1st liner, Lucic is not. I do not expect my top power forward to disappear for 10 game streches, Lucic does. Hell Clarkson is better

Yeah he is a far better point getter over all, he isn't however a powerforward, which is what we are discussing, the position one plays in forward has little to do with them, in fact, being a powerforward. So yes, Perry is a bonafide number one center, still doesn't make him a powerforward.

I believe you are having trouble with understanding the difference between number one center and powerforward, huge difference.

I would say he is the best, it seems as you are having troubles grasping the concept of a powerforward.

Perry has one off yr which included well over 100 pims and he isn't a power forward

Try and find a GM in this league that wouldn't LOVE to have Lucic on their team. You're letting sour grapes from Boston's Cup cloud your judgement.

There's no denying Lucic is a power forward. If not the best, then one of the best in the game currently.

I agree, one thing I will say in Lucic's defence is that if there was a PP late in the 3rd there is probably not another player in the league I would want in front of the net.

edit: maybe Holmstrom.

Find me the post where I said Lucic isn't a power forward? If you can't stop being a troll.

I wonder which is the softest Forward of this list:

Daniel Sedin
Henrik Sedin
Alexander Semin
Olli Jokinen
Mike Ribeiro
Jason Pominville
Jason Spezza
Jeff Carter
Phil Kessel
Scott Gomez
Sidney Crosby
Ilya Kovalchuk
Patrick Kane

Who takes the cake?

It's called adding my opinion. I guess if I'm trolling, then we're all trolls? This is a comments section for opinions, is it not?

OMG!!! how has no one mentioned Hartnell's name already? Wow can't believe I didn't think of him.

Getzlaf no. Being 6'4 doesn't automatically make you a power forward
- Oil_Addict

He hits, he fights, and he scores goals.

I have no argument with that. But to suggest Perry isn't a power forward is foolish. Took one state from one season and try to define him. Perry is a beast.

I am going to defend the twins before the onslaught of bashing. The twins do not hit, but they play a down low cycle game and take a TON of punishment in the corners and in front of the net, They don't play physically but they are far from soft.

Perry has one off yr which included well over 100 pims and he isn't a power forward

Uhm, doesn't fight or hit?

I stand corrected!

No, what you tried to do was discredit Lucic for not being a good powerforward because he wasn't a bonafide number one center, that in itself was true brilliance.

It's called adding my opinion. I guess if I'm trolling, then we're all trolls? This is a comments section for opinions, is it not?
- Bodhisattva

You said said there is no denying Lucic is a power forward in response to me saying he isn't the best. You are clearly suggesting I said he is not a power forward. That isn't your opinion. That's you making stuff up and being a troll

uhmm, doesnt hit, cant fight...

No love for Pacioretty and his 35 goals?
- Scabeh

Far from a good fighter, same thing with Cole.

Hartnell is a pu$$
- MCGUIZZY

67 points and 136 PM's last season...real pu$$. I think you should challenge him to a fight.

- shinebox

He belongs in that list, but he's not the best fighter.

Getzlaf though
