I'd suggested & envisioned loading up @ C, getting both Trocheck & Copp
...someone has to cover for Vrana's freewheeling & Hronek's Hroneking.

Unless it is an 8-year deal, I don't see it. The FA corps has been thinned out already and Copp will (want to) benefit from that.

This will be extremely disappointing. He’s just not a 2c. Anything above 4x4 I’ll just be very disappointed with.
The day when the most mistakes are made, I hope not unless it’s for 2-3y max. MAX.

There's a post up on the main forum adding Trochek to NYR to that list of 4 that included Copp to DRW. We'll see soon enough.

This isn’ta long term fix so I don’t see the issue. 100x better than seeing Suter at 2C.

This makes sense if only they feel that Kasper is as ready as O'Reilly was for Avs back then and well be rolling Larkin-Kasper-Copp as our centers.
But I highly doubt it.

Wanted Vincent Trocheck but Copps a good option. Hometown guy who has a similiar two way game as Trocheck.
This will help Red Wings out ALOT!
Red Wings fans hate when the team spends money. They'll be tons of comments about how this doesnt move the needle but... It's upgraded our 2nd line and both special team units so. IDK. No one else was stepping into that role within, so I consider the signing a big win. Improves the team in a lot of areas(imo).

I know. I don’t want him.
Oh you better bet your ass it’s a long term fix if it’s a long term contract north of 5m. You aren’t tossing a 5m player on line 3 unless that cap magically skyrockets.
Praying it’s 3-4y max.

I probably disagree with most of this post. You need to think long term and now just right now. This of course helps right now. Ideally, if he’s your 2c in 3 years you messed up
Somewhere. I hope I’m wrong.

Seems like the title of this thread is a little strong.
"deals already in place and players already reportedly tied to team(s). Such as... Copp (DET)"
"So those teams tied to players, they are this morning only 'front runners.' "
I think Bobby Margs is covering his tracks a little bit to not imply tampering, but I think I thinke he's also saying there varying degrees of certainty on the players listed.
Seems likely, but don't know that its a sure thing yet

Copp can also play the wing. If he shifts down to 3C or even 3W he still adds value with his 200 ft game and ability to play both special teams

I am thinking long-term and the wingers we are bringing up through our system don't need to play with Veleno/Rasmussen on a third line and flounder. Playing with Suter/Copp for the next year or two will help their development a lot.
I genuinely don't know who you see within who's better than Copp. That's curious to me if you disagree with me there.
It's also ok to disagree. Lots of fans love a perpetual rebuild. You prolly won't like Larkins extension either. I'm glad Yzerman is leaning towards getting better vs staying a doormat just for attempts to dratf well/high.

The Wings have the cap space to do this stuff. This seems more like a stopgap until Kasper is ready.
Plus, as a team who has finished in the bottom 10 of this league, it’s going to be difficult to get top UFAs here. Trocheck seems like he wants to be on a playoff team. Copp, being from the area, may want to help with the rebuild.

I think this is great, he will help the wings tremendously… I do think he went after copp because they truly believe Kasper will at worst be the #3 C, likely #2, in a year or so… so this helps that
Can copp win face offs? Supposedly here a gritty. Can he score 20 or more on the offensively starved Wings? How is his skating? I have only seen a few games of his. Thanks for the info

He's played a lot of wing in that time too, but yeah he's got over 50% win rate the last 5 years in a row.
Larkin, Copp, Suter, Rasmussen isn't god awful up the middle anymore. Not pimping much either but hey we're middle of the road at least now.

still trying to trust the yzerplan
4 years at 5M I’d be okay with. Above that is going to be a bad contract
