Number 95
This number has never been worn by a Duck so far as I can see.

Fixed it for you...



and that's the reason for me picking #25

But I also concur with Anything But 7

I voted "Other".

30 would be a good number for him in more ways than one.

I voted "other" I think 51 would look good, just flipping the 1 and 5 obviously.

Agree

6 seems like a fine number... doesn't really matter tho

save for the fact that would mean he hasn't "made the team" yet.

the Ducks use the Old School, Low numbers for the Team, high numbers for the Prospects/rookies.

I voted Other, how bout '4'... for Quadruple Lupul.

4 and 7 are both off my list forever for different reasons. But it was a nice thought. I would rather see the 4 up on the jumbotron than on Lupul's back though.

lupuls number should be # 17

#16 makes sense but he'll have to ask Parros to give it up. 4x4=16

I came up with 15 x 2nd time around = 30. What is another reason? (don't laugh, it took me until last evening to figure out the one reason I did come up with!)

I was hoping it would give him a goal to shoot for.

Put one of these on there for thirty of them if necessary.

Ah!

6. It's flashy, yet casual.

i like 51 too but i thought the same thing so now i say he goes with 5 or 6

Whatever he wants but 2-7 are traditionally defensmen numbers,right?. Other than that the only low numbers available I think are 11 and 14. Can he get #20 if Ryan Carter is in the AHL?

I'm confused. What's with all the hate on number 7?

I'm definitely missing something if this number isn't getting any love.

No. 7s
Pavel Trnka 1993-2001 Total games with Ducks 322
Milos Holan 1994-96
Alexei Kasatonov 1993-94
Bruno St. Jacques 2005-06
Shane Hnidy
Marc Andre Bergeron
Brendan Morrison

Carter earned a spot with his performance in the playoffs.

51 to complete the circle (Getz goes from 51 to 15, Lupul does the reverse).

I think he should get #11.

I voted 6. Stay with the low numbers.

11 would be cool

I say #75 because I can't think of a single NHL player that has ever worn that number for more than a year or two. When you see #75 on the ice you know it's Joffrey Lupul!

Players who have worn #75:

Yann Danis, Montreal Canadiens 2005-06
Leroy Goldsworthy, Montreal Canadiens 1934-35
Michal Grosek, Winnipeg Jets 1993-96
Chris Hajt, Washington Capitals 2003-04
Brett Lindros, New York Islanders 1994-96
Colton Orr, Boston Bruins 2005-06
Walt Poddubny, Quebec Nordiques 1988-89
Jack Portland, Montreal Canadiens 1934-35
Des Roche, Montreal Canadiens 1934-35
Pete Vandermeer, Phoenix Coyotes 2007-08

Michael Grosek played a total of 28 games for the Jets, Brett Lindros played in just 51 NHL games and the rest of those guys only wore #75 for one season. It's perfect! Lupul can claim #75 as his own and establish some history in that number.

Okay, sorry, Troy, gotta call you out here...

This read #83 before, and made reference to the year he was born... but continued with the same

"I can't think of a single NHL player that has ever worn that number for more than a year or two. When you see #** on the ice you know it's Joffrey Lupul!"

I was going to let it go and let someone else point out Ales Hemsky... But...

so did ya change it cause of Hemsky? or because 75 is closer to 15?

I changed it because of Hemsky. Can't have him wearing the same number as some stiff on the Oilers, can we?

It was originally #75, then I changed it to #83 to make it the year he was born, then remembered Hemsky and changed it back.

How about #84 then?

That's just as good. #93 would be nice as a tribute to the year the Ducks came into the NHL.

How about 79? Has that ever been worn before in the NHL besides Andrei Markov?

Alexei Yashin

I think Lupul gets #11 or #14. Maybe #11 for Koivu?

Oh yeah. Forgot.
