Ignoring the term this is a good signing for the next few years

 

[Svenhart2008]

Those who threw out a sub 5 AAV, are you high? This is t some scrub.

 

[sbjnyc]

A lot of term for a 30yo but the AAV is probably right. He signed a 6 year 4.75 million contract when the cap was $73 million (6.5%) and signed a 7 year 5.65 million contract with the cap at $82.5 million (6.85%).

5.6 is like a third liner these days lol

We have Goodrow locked up at 4C for how many zillions?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Best news about this, Strome is officially gone.

 

[haohmaru]

I bet Copp gets essentially the same deal. I’d rather have Trocheck.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

AAV is fine. As long as no NMC or NTC after year 4-5 this is fine.

We all know there will be.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

... same AAV as Trochek for 2 less years. Who's the better player? Historically its been Trocheck but we'll see

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

WTF

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'd rather have kept copp then. Same AAV but 5 years.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

YES!

LMAO didn't even realize he was a UFA

 

[DumpnChase12]

CAll the cops on that deal !!! WTF

 

[NYR94]

So Copp got same AAV, just two fewer years

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I bet Copp gets essentially the same deal. I’d rather have Trocheck.

also Trochek is a pure center

 

[LOFIN]

How the f*** are we not doing that instead of Trocheck?

 

[will1066]

Good perspective. Trocheck is a better fit stylistically vs. Copp. And he took a hometown discount.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Copp wanted to go home to Detroit. It is what it is

 

[Daves a mess]

EVERY year big market teams pay 1 or 2 years too long and 1 or 2 million too much.

Every. Single. Year.


Forget Slats, You guys remember Neil Smith right?

 

[Raspewtin]

i’d rather Copp at those terms except for the fact that the Rangers don’t and won’t play him at C

Would not have brought copp back at those terms for him to be a wing

 

[apoptygma]

Sportsnet think its very good value btw

 

[hagsfan924]

I wonder if Panarin could be on the move? Rangers are very tight with cap space.

I would love to see Rangers trade Panarin and then pick up Kane with cap retained.
Kreider Zib Kane
Laf Trocheck Kakko
Goodrow Chytil Kravtsov
Cuylle/Motte ?? Blais

I feel like that could be a strong lineup and give us a little breathing room with the cap especially next summer when Laf is a free agent

 

[Machinehead]

Trocheck is much better than Copp lol c'mon.

And Copp wasn't a center on this team.

 

[bleedblue94]

Those who threw out a sub 5 AAV, are you high? This is t some scrub.

for 7 year term 5 would be more in line. copp signing looks like a good number for his term...

 

[Svenhart2008]

I think Drury wanted to avoid trade protection that’s why the term. If he has a NTC or NMC in latter years, shoot Drury to the moon.
