Copp for one year is not worth that bud. Armia is a 4th liner? Ylonen will never make it? It's a horrible trade idea. No other way to spin it but you tried and failed.
I counter with this....

Lawry and Vesalainen
Any player for 1 year seems to be Han fans go to excuse for turning down any trade proposal. Mcdavid for 1 year for some crap players…Habs fans say…terrible for montreal. FYI copp is a far far better player than any of those players combined. As Yaqui the mentioned Suzuki and Copp where within 2 points of each other last year but Copp is a defensive beast that plays in every situation. Suzuki…had to be sheltered by danualt.
If a team can get player that will actually contribute to an NHL team, for a bunch of scrubs, they would take it every day of the week. Armia was a 4th line player for the Jets who was passed by so many rookies that they gave him away as a throw in and that was when he was making league minimum. They had to play him with Lowry and Copp to hide all his flaws. He was even crap when he played for the moose. Only skill he developed was knocking down pucks that were going by him cause he wouldn’t do the work to skate with the oppposition as they flew by him. You guys pay him 3.4 m? That is almost as bad as wasting draft picks on pervs that no one will allow in their league.
Ylonen would never make the Jets. He is already 22 and can’t get a sniff with your team ..who will bring any 19 year old into the league too early. kK, poehling, juulsen, scherbak, McCarron, fucale, tinordi…where all untouchable according these boards….but are any of them even playing in the ECHL still?
