He’s absolutely the type of guy who puts up points in the post seasonAlright I'm sold on Copp, let Strome walk, resign Copper, resign the rest of the depth squad, reap the rewards.
I have a feeling Copper will have a huge post-season with us
Why should we? I wouldn’t invest 1.6M of our cap in himWho the hell is saying we won’t qualify Blais? Lmao
Maybe you’ve forgotten how effective he was to start the seasonWhy should we? I wouldn’t invest 1.6M of our cap in him
I liked him. He hasn’t played more than 40 games in a season in his career. He’s exactly the person we should be pinching pennies on.Maybe you’ve forgotten how effective he was to start the season
He’s absolutely worth 1.6 million a year
Thought copp would be a good addition but didn't expect this. Would love to resign him, only worry about his concussion history, but he is the type of center that diversifies our top 6 and top 9, finally...
Don't both Mika and Crosby have a concussion history?
Looks like he's fit in perfectly with you guys so far. I'll be on the Rangers band wagon this playoffs, Not going to lie, I want that 1st round pick badly and think with the additions you made at the TD, puts you in a very good position to win a few rounds. Solid top 6 and bottom 6 depth, really good back end and the obvious vezna winner in net, not sure what else you can ask for.
Copp's opportunities in the top 6 in WPG always felt as he was a place holder and never seemed like it was a permanent position. Lowry isn't as versatile, so Copp was always his wingman on the 3rd line. Those two were always a reliable pair and complemented each other perfectly and were able to shut down other top lines so he was pretty much stapled there. He wanted more ice time, but our top 6 wingers were Ehlers, Wheeler, Laine (before the trade) and Conner at the time, and his lack of opportunity at C meant he wasn't trusted to fill that 2C hole and had to compete with Statsny (at both w and C) and Little (before his injury) and PLD after the trade,
He's seems to continue developing his scoring touch and now has back to back career seasons, proving he belongs in the top 6. He does go streaks were his offense isn't there, but has a solid defensive game to fall back on and contributes there. I felt he was always underrated and overshadowed by our big name players. I'm not sure how much more offense there is for him to develop, but at worst I think he's an elite 3rd line C and depending on his wingers, an area where you are definitely not lacking, could be a very good all around 200ft 2C - depending on where his offense caps out at and if he can remain consistent offensively.
I think it's likely he resigns with you in the offseason. Many Jets fans felt NY was his likely destination the past few years when he seemed to be positioning himself to get to UFA. The only other team I could see him being interested in is Detroit since he's from Michigan, however not sure how motivated he would be to go there after multiple playoff runs in WPG and hopefully a deep run with NY, unless Yzerman throws stupid money at him. Good luck Ranger fans. Props on the stellar quick rebuild.

LaFontaine tooOn Mika I don’t recalling him having more than 2. On Crosby he had more than Mika. Well we also know Lindros did and so did Rick Nash and both were Rangers.
I still hate Mike Keane for thatLaFontaine too
So when is Dubois available? Rangers like to make trades with the Jets Trouba, Copp, can Dubois be next? He is one of the most physical centers in the league.![]()
Interesting that Drury went after Danault in FA but reportedly didn’t like the term. I wonder if he’s targeting Copp at 5MM over 5 years, maybe that’s a low ball offer

Copp turned down 5 x 4 mil from Winnipeg and the speculation was that he was looking for 5 x 5. We'll see if those numbers change with the Rangers, but I'd be fine with giving him 6 x 5 mil if that's what it takes.Haven't watched much lately, but I'd say that is a low-ball offer. We need to re-sign him, simply for the price of admission and I hope it's (cheap).

they are also both elite, so you take your chance on elite players more so than mid 6 guys looking for their big payday entering ufa. those type of players aren't comparable to copp, it's just sillyDon't both Mika and Crosby have a concussion history?
