Speculation: LA Kings News, Rumors, Roster Thread part VII

Kempe is a better goal scorer version of Kupari. I don’t think Kupari will even be close. Time will tell.

Kempe has better hands, better skating, a better shot. However Kupari creates plays while Kempe floats a lot. I like Kuparis game more for that reason.

Pretty hard to compare that even at the same age, Kempe played two minutes more per game and with better linemates. Still, comparing age 21 seasons, Kupari scored at .09 goals per game and Kempe scored at .19 goals per game. Points per game is similar, with Kupari scoring 0.23 points per game and Kempe scoring 0.45 points per game.
