I would have been way more pissed with getting Lehkonen for a first and Nils or Robertson so there's that. Copp is way better and more effective

 

[Fitzy]

Yeah it's a little bit more than I'd want to have given up in terms of the future picks but Kravtsov, Chytil, and other moves can be made to recoup a pick or two near the draft.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What is the projected cost to re-sign Copp?

5 mill over some amount of years.

You'd basically be allocating what you're paying Strome right now to him.

I'm fine with it, but they'd have to find a way to trade for someone to play above him.

 

[TankLarkin]

Sad if Hunt sits. His game better lately. Sit 72.

 

[RagFinMet]

We have to resign him or win the cup or this trade blows
Worse case scenario we win the first 2 rounds then lose so we lose our first round pick and he doesn't resign
Yikes

I have been a big Barron fan but from watching him in Hartford and then in limited minutes in NY, it seemed to me like the optimistic middle six projection became more like a 3rd/4th line tweener projection.

This feels like Rooney and Kakko injuries may be more severe than we’ve been told. Find out soon.

 

[Wtp99]

You have to give to get in this league and if this helps in the long run it is worth it.
Drafts are a crap shoot anyway, Drury made some good moves and didn’t hurt our future
I for one think this turned out pretty well

 

[JohnC]

I will say, the team’s prospect pool at forward is kinda dire now

 

[will1066]

Still overall a good day for Drury but not sure how to feel about the Copp move. Barron was supposed to be a long term bottom 6 (possible center solution).
Obviously if we make the conf finals the first round pick isn't that great anyway (29th or worse) so glad the condition was put on the first.

Can keep trawling around for bottom six centers. There's plenty around.

KRAVTSOV LIVES ON

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The only way Copp is going to get signed is if he’s replacing Strome tbh

Na just adding depth

 

[Kords]

I'm in the Drury nailed it boat. Substantial roster upgrade without going all in. I'm excited.

meh, we win 2 rounds we're picking 29 or 30. That's okayish to give up. It's not 15-16 like lsat year.

Till the summer.

30 transactions remain in the queue.

Link to the live press conference with Kevin Cheveldayoff. Upcoming.

 

[Brief Candle]

I liked Barron. Oh well. I still think it's a pretty good deal.

 

[Savant]

Sad if Hunt sits. His game better lately. Sit 72.

I don’t think Chytil has a role if everyone is healthy and I’m not at all bothered by this. Would rather have Hunt in than Chytil at this stage.

 

[will1066]

His signature made it official

 

[Tob]

This is basically the Eric Staal trade.

I’m already at the point wondering whether Kakko is coming back at all.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Very good job by Drury. Copp, Motte, and Vatrano for 2nd's and 2 4th's + Barron. The bottom 6 needed to be upgraded and mission accomplished. Lets get a healthy Kakko back and see what they can do. I like Barron and he will be a solid bottom 6 guy for them but all of the top prospects are still here. Great job.
