Confirmed with Link: Andrew Copp to Detroit | 5 years @ $5.6M

If Stevie Y is giving him term (4+ years) it means he believes he can be a guy, which is exciting

Who am I to doubt him lol

 

[DamonDRW]

Copp and also Edvinsson will definitely makes us better. But in my opinion we need to suck one more year. Otherwise we'll be choosing in top 13-15 range.

A free, intellectual mind. I mean Copp was my preferred option, so I'm not doubting the decision, but you don't need to serve as a cult leader. Feel free to like what you like, and dislike what you dislike.

LETS GOOOOOO

 

[raymond23]

Idk what’s not to be excited about…
- can play any forward position
- consistent production
- good in all three zones
- pp and pk
- 28 years old
- loved by past fanbases

I’ll pay for that

 

[Snuggs]

I'm not sure people will like the contract. I don't see how the kid doesn't sign for at least 30 million. I don't mind it with all the space and future rising cap(assuming). etc.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

My initial thought was it's gonna be 5 x 5.25 to 5 x 5.75. I'm normally off when predicting contracts though.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Wasn't he a teammate of Larkin's at Michigan? Maybe it could help get an extension done.

 

[Mister Ed]

He can play all positions,
He's from the area (which will bring more fans in),
In the playoffs he wasn't a passenger on the Strome-Panarin line, he was great. Not sure if he was the centre on that line?

 

[Umingmak]

I like Copp. He’s a solid player.

But he isn’t worth $5M+

Rangers fan rundown on Copp

-Very versatile, can literally play anywhere. He was our 2nd line RW and fit in perfectly
-Doesn’t deke/stick handle at all
-Jack of all trades master of none
-High IQ player, looks lazy at times
-Floats often, invisible most of the time
-Coach’s player, does everything right, takes no risks. Literally every coach’s dream
-Doesn’t skate with the puck at all
-Pass & go type player
-Concerning injury history
-Produces but makes you wonder how sometimes
-He is not gritty at all. He doesn’t hit or stir shit up
-Good locker room glue guy
-Underrated defensively, needs to be utilized more properly there as in playing PK more often
-Elite positionally


I do wish NYR re-signed him though

 

[RRhoads]

Please no more than 4 years. Preferably 3, and higher cap hit

 

[Ricelund]

I like it. He might be a bit overpaid but that's just how UFA goes. By the time cap space is an issue, it likely won't matter.

I think you need to elaborate more. A lot of these seem contradicting. The bolded in particular.

Not even. Just because he’s invisible doesn’t mean bad. He makes a lot of small plays that go unnoticed is my point. He doesn’t take any risks, as straightforward as a player can be. Coach’s love that

I agree I was confused on those contradictions

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

My initial thought was it's gonna be 5 x 5.25 to 5 x 5.75. I'm normally off when predicting contracts though.

So it will be around 5 x 5.50 which is about where i thought it would be.

under the radar / cloaking device vs. invisible.

Ok. I just think "float" and "invisible" have really bad connotations.
I guess in my opinion you can leave those out and have that topic covered with "elite positionally" and "High IQ" without the negativity attached. But, I got it now.

Some of that assessment kind of makes him sound like a poor man's Johan Franzen. I can live with that as long as he doesn't get a contract like Franzen.

 

[lhsgolf19]

This is really cool

 

[The Red Line]

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.

Why is everything so permanent? If he is the 2c next year that doesn't mean he will be the 2c forever, or even for the duration of his contract.

Pius Suter was the 2c last year, and next year he won't be. Things can change around...

This post is just one giant contradiction.

Pros: Coach's player, does everything right, very versatile, high IQ, good locker room guy, produces

Cons: Floats often, looks lazy, doesn't skate with puck, not gritty, don't understand how he produces

Summary:
Pro: is good
Con: might not be good

 

[odin1981]

if he has injury history, I'm hoping it's a 4 year deal. middle 6 forwards don't last long once their bodies start to go.

He floats and looks lazy in the same way Adam Fox does. Or like Derek Stepan used to. They all are IQ based players

Also none of what you quoted are contradictions

You guys will see what I mean
