If Ryan Strome can become a 2C, there is zero reason to believe Copp couldn't do the same with the current/potential winger situation here. Can't stop loving this trade. Can't wait to watch the kid!!
Confirmed with Link: Andrew Copp, 6th for Barron, Cond. 2nd, 2nd, 5th

Copp used 18 in college and the minors, and 26 in juniors. It was going to be a toss up between those 2.

They also have Blake Wheeler who is, of course, #26.
When Copp arrived, two Jets captains were wearing his two numbers.

I like this deal only if there's a NYR contract at the end of the rainbow. Otherwise, don't love it.
Someone posted Yanni Gourde's stats and they're eerily similar to Copp's the last 2-3 seasons playing on a better team. Plus Copp is younger. Could Copp be that Yanni Gourde trade we've wanted and Strome's replacement?
I think a lot of the appeal of Gourde was tied directly to the possibility of Seattle retaining salary on his contract. Copp could be a great player for us, but if we have to pay him like a great player then he's probably hurting this team more than helping it at this point.

From The Athletic:
"Now, is Copp a rental? Almost certainly. We’ve heard for weeks that he’s ready to maximize his earnings, which was part of the reason Winnipeg had to move him in the first place. That’s great for him, and it’s a problem for the Rangers in the summer, not now."

I agree. For a team that is desperate for C, you would think they could have given him a few more looks. But, I assume they know him a lot better than we do.

or he just didn't want to be in Winnipeg... like his buddy Trouba
I'm hoping they can lock him up at $4.5MAAV
His buddy Trouba bent us over as soon as we traded for him...
I'm going to assume some random ass reporter from the Athletic will have a seat at the negotiation table.

it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
Copp has Trouba's agent Kurt Overhardt, there must be some bad blood with the agent and the Jets because I had to find out who "Kurt Overcharge" is after reading their forum for ten seconds

I think him not resigning is a very real possibility. I just can't see Drury agreeing to pay the guy > 5 million after he balked at Buch for just slightly more than that. We'll see I guess
Hoping Blais' return will mitigate the loss a little but losing Barron and a two 2nds for 20 games of Copp will unquestionable suck... hard.

Will it really? These are late 2d rounders so what's the percentage of players picked in that tier who go on to have an NHL career? And how many of them max out as journeyman and waiver wire warriors? The biggest loss will be Barron who we know can at least survive as a 4th liner in the NHL. You don't want to lose your firsts but your 2ds are a crapshoot and not worth too much angst.
