Both guys have had similar career curves, middle 6ers on great teams and then top liners last year on rebuilding teams' first playoff appearances. Ladd takes more penalties, scores less goals, gets significantly less assists, and has played less playoff games. I sure hope GMs aren't thinking Ladd is a more useful playoff performer. The Ducks shut him down completely last year and he didn't do much on the 2010 Blackhawks either.
