Rumor: WPG expecting to trade Andrew Copp. No plans to keep him. Ask is 1st rounder. Avs pushing for him

[BatVader]

Copp + a 2nd 2022 for 1st 2022 and a 3rd 2023

No

 

[BKarchitect]

3 assists actually

if Lekhonen costs a first, Copp definitely should as well

I think both costs firsts but keep in mind there is a difference in contractual status this summer.

 

[Hunter368]

Can Winnipeg take another roster player?

I'd like to get Coop and Stastny in one deal.

Jets have the cap this year if both are traded, but if the player coming back has term then they need to fill a need and not a dump. If its a cap dump ending this year, they can take him at a cost, plus the cost of Copp and Stats

Justin Barron and a middleish pick? Would it really take an additional late 1st too? I guess I'd say, do it. Now's the time.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Copp + a 2nd 2022 for 1st 2022 and a 3rd 2023

Take out the 2nd and it’s a deal.

 

[BatVader]

Barron + 3rd/Beaucage/Foudy for Copp would work for me

 

[TGWL]

Copp is a centre and more versatile.

I feel like he's been playing more wing outside the dot.

Sakic has said he's not moving Barron, Newhook, or Byram.

I don't believe Barron is untouchable, but doubt he's in play for Copp.

Interesting. I knew he crossed off Byram and Newhook but I didn't realize Barron was also on the list.

Interesting to see teams like TBL and FLA who go all in to win and teams like COL and NYR who want to try to minimize their costs but still compete with the teams going all in.
Will be curious if COL and NYR don’t pay the prices for players and get knocked out, what the discussion will be.
I’d say the price of Barron + or Lundkvist + for Copp is a damn good deal for a contending team looking for a Cup… but that’s my opinion

 

[kylbaz]

Apparently they had a few "two seconds" offers, but they're waiting for a first.

I think it ends up being a second and a solid prospect and maybe another later pick.

Billeck I assume means irons in the fire and not irons in the first lol.

I'd keep him if it doesn't return a first. See if anyone gives in

 

[jetsv2]

I feel like he's been playing more wing outside the dot.

He's been playing wing because the Jets wanted to use him on a line with Lowry, but any time over the last 2 years that the Jets have had an injury at center in their top 6 Copp was the guy who filled that hole.

It is. Sakic needs to realize that this is a really good window to be in and not be covetous of Barron who is a question mark.

Eh, there isn't one team in the West that has done more than Colorado.

Just because the East is a bloodbath doesn't mean Sakic needs to be sucked into overpaying for rentals. Still plenty of other assets on the table that don't involve those three. I'm pretty happy with how Joe has navigated the deadline so far, basically just need another bottom 6 forwards. Ideal target is Copp, but still plenty of other bottom 6 forwards available that can improve our depth.

 

[Unspecified]

Andrew Copp is all of a sudden worth a 1st because he is having a career year?

You can have Statsny for Beaucage + 3rd

I'd do that.

He had a really good year last year too and can play in a teams top 6, a 3rd line shutdown role pp and pk. He can play both center and wing. He is exactly what teams are looking for come playoff time every year.

 

[BatVader]

I'd do that.

Make the call…

Copp is the definition of Swiss Army knife. Fits and can play up and down the lineup, in any position, and in any role.
for a contending team, he’d be that perfect flexible piece

It’s ok to say nothing of you don’t know who he is.

 

[kylbaz]

He's worth a first because the teams trading for him don't base everything on just looking at the stats page like some people...

 

[Aoko]

Would love for Tampa to offer their remaining 2022 first round pick to get him. Money won't work though. Even if they retain.
