Copp has never and never will be a 2C.
He is a 3C on a good day.
He sucks, but the Wings have bigger problems.

Copp is 1 player - not a star by any means - you could say the same for any number of guys wearing the Winged Wheel jersey...The team as a whole underperformed - that usually falls upon the coaching staff too.But come on man, we all have eyes and saw how Copp performed in the ice. He generated next to nothing in terms of offensive opportunities. That’s on him, not the coach.
One guy is also doing this as an NHL rookie winger making sub 1 million and one guy is doing it at almost 30 years old after many years in the NHL while making almost six million.
The 6 million player also makes disastrous bonehead mistakes in the D zone despite being a "defensive" player. Copp makes mistakes almost every game that would get a rookie stapled to the bench.
I'm not in love with Berggen (would rather see him traded at the draft) but Copp is probably one of the worst contracts in the NHL right now and could easily be replaced with Danielson or Kasper without much drop off.

I'm amused that you think you wouldn't be the first person on the "get Strome TF out of Detroit" bandwagon on our 2nd line had he signed with us. He's been spoonfed top line icetime with the best wingers over the last 3 years.
Now do '22--'23 and the first half of this season. Your pitchfork would have been out well before that line became an opportunity.He would've been playing 2C between Cat and Kane. Remember when everyone said his numbers were padded by playing with those guys? Well, guess which team they played for this season?
