let’s dispel any notions that copp is in anyway a useful player. He is not. I don’t care if he scores 30 points. I don’t care if he PKs. He brings nothing to anything. This is a guy who had like 30 hits in the past 90 games or something. He is charmin soft, and he doesn’t have some sort of offensive potential to make up for it. He is a mediocre skater at best too, guys not even fast. Even when he was running a shut down role, he’d get burnt. No, he is a grinder who isn’t good enough to be a good one and only scores some points because of the minutes he plays, if you switched him with veleno I genuinely think even veleno could do better in his role, and I think veleno is a replacement level player. Worst part is, copp is actively keeping kasper from being on the roster with his shit contract. Probably one of my least favorite red wings of all time, like there’s so many nights where he just looks like he’s not even trying. I can handle players who aren’t very good if they give it their all all the time, this guy seems to just not give a rats ass. Someone tell me if I’m wrong, like I may be being irrational but he bugs me so much.
