I think Sutter finally nailed it...

Gonna use the word everyone loves to hate: system. Throw Kopitar in Boudreau's system and see how his numbers rise.

A non factor? He plays a full 200 feet of hockey. He's "one and done" offensively, because he doesn't cheat on the attack and he's the first forward back.

It's not a slight against Kopitar, he is just not an Elite Center.

He is not going to turn Carter/Toffoli(any winger) into some 40-50G scorer.

Kopitar is just not that type of Center.

The Ducks play defense, its not like they are devoid of it.

ANH is right outside the top ten in GAA. GA. SV%

Better than Chicago, Chicago is in the bottom 20 for GAA. GA. SV% which makes the Kings loss even more depressing.


I think Kopitar would still be a 70 point player even in the East.
