Proposal: Copp and #15 for Chicago #18

[norrisnick]

Unlikely, Copp wanted to be close to home and Chicago is 2nd to Detroit I'd think

Columbus, Toronto, and Buffalo are closer. But just about as likely to be on the NTC...

Or wait, just Columbus. I looked at Detroit and not Ann Arbor.

Yeah I figured maybe Toronto and forgot about the existence of Buffalo, but you can typically bet 7/10 of a NTC pretty comfortably so that likely takes TO out...

And I would imagine as an UM guy, he's got Columbus on that thing out of principle. Proximity to home town or not.

That said, I don't think an NTC comes into play. Yzerman signed Copp to be exactly what he is. If he got rid of Copp he'd just sign or trade for another one.

Id do it for 28

No way we're moving down 3 spots to lose a useful player.

I think it's unlikely that 30-year old Copp would be ok to go to a team thats going to tank next 2-years. Why would he want waste anymore years in a bottom feeder, Wings at least are trying to make the playoffs.

The value to move down from 15 to 18, according to Draftsim, is the 72nd overall pick:

This may not reflect the actual value of that move, but I think it's pretty clear that trading Copp will cost a bit more than that.

Copp is a serviceable 3rd line defensive center who’s overpaid by about 1-2 million. Would I do this trade ? Absolutely. Would I throw a 2nd and prospect too? Probably If the wings had a free agent to replace him, but It would create a hole in the lineup. He has 42 pts 2 years ago while playing PK1 and no Powerplay time. This year his production dropped cause he went from 2C to 3C

This seems like a good deal for both. Bedard needs help, badly.

As I already said, his main motivation for being in Detroit was being close to home and based on that it makes very little sense that he'd have Chicago on it. So you can almost guarantee his NTC is some mix of Canada + California

Canada is definitely there but when mrs. Copp hears California there might be a change of heart.
