Okay, now you’ve lost me. Copp isn’t even a C on the Jets
he's a better center than Stastny and Lowry, played better than Dubois this past year
Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Andrew Copp re-signs with Jets (1 year, $3.64M)

Scheifele
Dubois (should be better than Copp)
Lowry
are all better then Copp (Copp and Lowry are close... as a winger Copp offers more flexibility then Lowry)
Stastny gives us a b/up plan that can fill in anywhere at C/LW.
Ideally had we known the D signings in advance we could have shaved something off of Stastny's contract for Copp. But I'm not sure that would be enough. They may have been looking for 5+ on a longer deal for those UFA years.

Copp isn't a C, and wouldn't be the 2nd best C on the team if he were. There is an argument to be made that he would be the 5th best C on our team.

pretty sure wheeler would be moved to center over him if needed
i remember him playing C against us this past season and he always stood out, he gets the tough matchups too
he's basically a swiss army knife like Byron is for us, except he's much better than Byron

andrew copp is #9, lowry is our center who takes the tough match ups

Yeah, you're right. That puts us at Scheifele, Dubois, Stastny, Wheeler, and Lowry at C over Copp.
Copp is a fine player. He's not in line to play 2nd line C for us, regardless of contract.
OR they have a handshake deal to extend the contract in January...Stastny comes off the books and Copp gets some of that $.
That works for the cap, right?

it could work, but we will need money for pld so copp is most likely a rental

Copp isn't a core player?
you don't realize how important players like Copp are until you lose them
Copp has barely played C for the Jets, tho he is capable apparently. Here's a list of players that have played C in the top 6, which Copp never has that I can recall: Scheifele, Dubois, Stastny, Wheeler, Lowry. I don't think the Jets think he is their 2nd best C, but maybe their 6th best C
He is a great player and an excellent depth piece, I would've been happy to lock him up long term on a similar contract to Lowry, but if he wants top 6 money then I think he'll have to get it elsewhere.

I was just about to type: "great player but that seems high", then I looked up his stats. His been progressing very well, damn.
Good $, too bad for Winnipeg he's most likely gone after the season.
Since I don't watch him that much can someone sum him up (like a small scouting report)?

No one is saying he’s not an important player. DeMelo is an important player, Lowry is an important player, Statsny is an important player. That doesn’t mean they’re all core players. Copp is important, however he is easier to replace (no not easy, just easier) than a core player like Sheif, Ehlers, Helle etc.Copp isn't a core player?

Dubois will most likely receive a big pay day and that will eat up most of what we have available.

Besides the cap flexibility, I don't think it's a bad idea to give Copp a one year deal to see if his much improved offensive play last year was real progression or a mirage
Beyond this year, Winnipeg could theoretically find room to keep him (assuming he and his lovely agent are open to that)
That or just keep a quality player to make a run next year, then let him leave for his big payday
Think everyone wins here tbh

Yeah, I’d have kept Appleton..
Slots in longer term and more affordably.
With Scheif, PLD, Lowry, Stats, etc… Copp is a luxury, while the Jets could use Apples on the RW

I'm not sure we would have been able to keep Apples long term either. This season, for sure, but he's a season away from a significant raise as well.
I think the Jets will look at trying to extend Copp long-term as soon as they can, as they have cap space opening up next season.
