Anze cannot lead this team anymore....as a leader, or 1C.
One of the main reasons the Kings are in a playoff position, is the line of
Danault, Moore, Arvidsson. If the Kings had 2 lines like that, would have 100 points now
and challenging for 1st in Pacific.
I don't think it matters, who you put with Kopi next year. They could sign Forsberg, Burakovsky,
Gaudreau and it would not make Kopi any better, if you put them with him.
He's too slow and ineffective at being top 6 going forward. I cannot imagine what
he'll look like the last yr of his contract. ugly.
The organization should make Phil captain and make his line #1 (it already is)
Kopi's minutes should be 16-18 at most, going forward. The team really needs one
of Byfield, Turcotte, Vilardi, Kupari to take 2C and make Kopitar 3C, or have equal minutes
with the third line, if he is 2C. And he should be PP2. Iafallo should be removed forever off the PP.
He's better suited to third line and PK.
