The guy is a monster he's ppg again playing with garbage. Idk what he would cost but if he ever gets any help he will have a monster season
Kopitar still has a lot in the tank but Montreal still needs defense you're right. Prime pronger would take Weber's spot tho.Habs fan here. Kopitar was a great player, is still an excellent player but not worth what the Kings would want in return.
The Habs should only attempt a monster trade if a Grade A #1 LHD would be on the market. Think prime Pronger.
Actually if Montreal wants klefbom I'd take a forward or two in exchange get him off the power play and give us scoring wingers for a second line
They do.I don't think thw Habs have the necessary pieces
He is also a fair but older than Subban was when he was traded.Kopitar is on a much higher level than Subban though.
Not a terrible starting point.id take Kopitar but that would involve Kings accepting Danault back (because we dont need another center without givin a center and Kop would take his spot), along with a 1st rd pick+ Ylonen (or any other prospect not named Caufield or Romanov). Could
If it isnt enough for Kings then not interested.
We lack defence more than another center.
like half ot montreals team is super old just move wingers or prospects for a lhdFor the first time since a long time, C isn't a short term solution. If we trade for Kopitar, it means that we open a real window for 2-3 seasons, and that also means that we have absolutely no choice to make another major trade for a 1LD. So Kopitar would cost something like Danault + 1st + Brook + 2nd that become 1st if we make the SCF (or something like that, I'm not proposing, I'm making a point). And after that, we need to give pretty much the same thing for a 1LD, and without a 1st in 2 seasons, we need to start talking about Caufield, Suzuki, Romanov or KK AND add.
We won't gut the future for a 2-3 years window.
What do Kings want for Brown?
That doesn't disprove what I said. They could be traded or they could not be traded, what a GM says has little value when talking trades.
Kopitar isn't able to help LA be a contending team . He would be able to help Montreal either and wouldn't be worth giving up top prospects draft picks to get him .
Highly doubt Brown would ever be available.
Glad to know that Kopitar and Kopitar won't be traded. Now we just need one more Kopitar for a complete setNo he’s not Blake said he and Kopitar were not going to be traded. They both are staying for the rebuild
LOLThey do.
Name is Carey Price.
But yeah, should they? Would they? Would it make any sense at all?
That's another matter.
No thanks, habs do not need Kopitar.
yea thanks but we prefer forming Suzuki, Poehling, KotkaniemiI don't believe there is a fit here...but you can't say the habs "do not need Kopitar" ...he would be the best player on the team (aside from Price).
He would auotmatically slide in as 1C.
LOL
Price won't get you Kopitar. The Kings have zero need for another 32 year old goalie
LOL reading is fundamentalPrice may be 32 but he's still a top 3 goalie in the league.
There's a reason why he's been voted (by players and coaches) as either the best goalie or the hardest goalie to play against for 3 years running now. He is nothing short of elite even at 32.
In any area of life something is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.The Kings have zero need for another 32 year old goalie

Price may have value to other teams , but not to the Kings who are rebuilding and have zero use for Price
it's not the player today, 3-4 years down the road you have a 36 year old goalie making $10.5M for another 4 years and why would the rebuilding kings want that? in 3-4 years kopitar will be ready to ride off in the sunset.
