Battle of the Band-Aid – who has more fantasy value, Semin or Lupul? Roos investigates
The theme for this week is "how the once mighty have fallen," as facing off are former fantasy assets turned frustrations Alexander Semin and Joffrey Lupul. In addition to determining a winner, we'll see if either player has a realistic hope of returning to past glory, or whether, instead, their recent struggles are the new normal. Cage Match starts now!
Career Path and Contract Status
Tabbed as a 1st rounder (13th overall) in 2002, Semin debuted for Washington in 2003-04. But after posting just 22 points in 54 games, he opted to play in Russia during the 2004-05 lockout then was in limbo for 2005-06. Upon returning to the Caps for 2006-07, Semin hit the ground running, to the tune of 73 points in 77 games. Then, after a down 2007-08, he tallied 163 points in 135 games in the next two seasons to vault himself into elite territory.
