Kopitar Selke Finalist

Letting Kopi walk or trading him would be incredibly stupid and not even worth discussing. Only thing we can hope for his contract not to be as horrendous as Toews/Kane's.

No, the only thing not worth discussing is giving Kopitar a contract with a stupid term and stupid money.

Thankfully none of us have to worry about that happening. The organization isn't that stupid to let Kopitar reach free agency. Maybe under previous management under Dave Taylor they would've let that happen since they were known to sit on their hands quite a bit in those days. Dean will lock Kopitar up this summer and let Kopi concentrate on hockey.
 
Good Kopi got nominated.

Lombardi will offer a fair contract, and they will negotiate from their.
 
Was Kopitar that bad defensively this season? I didn't notice too much of a difference between this year and the previous one. He was pretty bad in the middle of the season for like a month, then back to normal. He's got the lowest CA60 out of these three and is number 1 in Corsi differential. His offensive stats are ass but only two less than Toews, w/ less games played, and this isn't he Art Ross we're talking about. We weren't hemmed in our zone a lot when he was out there unlike Richards's and Stoll's line.

Who else would be nominated over Kopi this season? Maybe Datsyuk?
 
Kopitar just had certain teams/games where he was bad defensively.

Not the season as a whole. Kopitar is still the Kings best defensive forward by a long shot.

No, he was still fantastic strictly defensively, but by his standards, last year was better. That's the only reason I feel his nomination may be a snub to some others but you're probably right that on that level he was still very much elite at controlling the whole ice.

If we're going to repeatedly have the same finalists, would be nice if they had a new winner :P
 
And now for our main event, KINGS17 versus the country of Slovenia.

I dunno, maybe I should let Herby take my light work.

I have the whole province of Manitoba to deal with regarding Richards. :laugh:

Maybe Herby and I can tag team against Manitoba.
 
Why ? Its an opinion:)

Yes, but one that is based on actually watching the playoff games. Something (watching games) that was obviously not the case in this year's Selke nominations.
 
Considering the fact that Kopitar could've won the Conn Smythe in both Cup runs (as well as Doughty) this is an interesting thought...

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Brown could have won in 2012 as well. Kopitar, with 5 goals in the playoffs and 0 goals in the WCF AND SCF, was not even close in 2014.
 
It's so great seeing you downplay everything Kopitar achieved just to get people to join your narrative.


But following multiple forums.. You need to work harder.
