No Wings fans thought he would be a 60 pt player. He has never hit 60 pts ever.
Where did Yzerman go wrong with the rebuild?

I wasn't. I was bashing the signing when the ink was still wet. Same with Chiarot and Holl.
Salary cap suppose to be 95-97 mill next year .... yayyy more copps and comphers coming our way
Some were basing it on his production in NY, and Yzerman definitely must have thought there was some untapped offensive potential that finally came through in NY, or else there was no way he would give him that contract
I don't know alot about the point totals but alot of fans were acting like smart asses and giving me sh*t when I said he sucked and wasn't a 2c when the guys had like 40 pts once lmao
Ppl saw a good rangers post season and thought he was a 2c lol think every fan unanimously hated holl
and I bashed compher signing day 1 and said he was never was never 2 c and I'll never change my mind. Petry trade was a headscratcher...didnt like the debrincat trade cause I thought we were moving a top 15 pick,was wrong on that one we fleeced the sens but dont think hes here longterm and I'd flip him if I were gm depending the player(s)coming back
Yzermans got some work to do now while we're waiting for the kids and remove some bad players

I don't have receipts but I recall more than one or two posters tooting their horns about Copp coming into his prime after signing him and how he had basically become a point a game player while with the Rangers in the regular season and playoffs. Those who are now saying otherwise have very selective memories.

I remember those posters. They were making instant excuses too saying he didn't have a training camp. The guy is a complete plug and I never wanted him. I don't care if he is from Michigan and played college with Larkin who gives a f*** about shit like this...

Quite a few people said that he's a legit 2C. How many points do you expect out of a 2C?
46 "centers" (as listed on NHL.com) scored 60 or more points last season, so 60 is a reasonable expectation out of a 2C. That explains why I said he's not a 2C and never will be. Somehow there are still a few people here trying to justify the crappy contract.
Anyways, Copp isn't THE problem, he's just a symptom. Stevie's UFA signings have been pretty miserable even for placeholders, except Talbot. He can use "building through the draft" as an excuse, but it looks to me that he's just afraid to make big moves to acquire talent both in UFA and trades. (DeBrincat being the exception as far as trades, all of the other big ones were as a seller, not a buyer.)
This team is gonna go through another rebuild if Danielson isn't a high end 2C, and the team won't be contenders unless he's a legit 1C. I suppose that could happen, he does have the tools. He'll need to drive the play more like Larkin does.
