Value of: Anze Kopitar

[Guitpik]

Right, absolutely nothing has changed since the last time a Kopitar thread was created over a year ago.

Sorry @Guitpik, I didn't mean to personally offend you by creating this thread. I'll be sure to delete my account now.

Me offended? It doesn't look like I'm the one who's offended. It wasn't a personal attack on you, so take a deep breath and relax. It's just that these Kopitar/Doughty threads always end the same way. Fans of other teams feel they're over paid and too old, too expensive. Blake isn't going to trade either of them anyway...

I don't think so either. This is draft year is not the year to tank, but next year is. Everyone will be talking about where Shane Wright, the next coming of McJesus, will be going.

Blake will need old players with high contracts for excuses.

Love the guy that posted Anze Kopitar for Zach Werenski.

$10m for four more years until he’s 37 in a flat cap world?

Not even for free.

That is awful for LA on both deals!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kopitar is now tied for the league lead in scoring. Guess the old man still has something in the tank.

Kopi will age like Thornton IMO and I’ve been saying this for years. Not to mention he’s still producing while playing 200 ft year after year.
It cracks me up so many people do not wanna give up assets to for a guy that will help you win a cup. Common theme here is peeps are more worried about losing prospects/youth then winning the cup for argument sake.
As a Kings fan I’ll make the Richards for Schenn/Simmonds trade over and over again.

His wingers are always terrible too. Noone ever gives him any credit but he is a solid player any team should want

LA will happily keep Kopitar, he is a much better player than some on here think.

 

[kilowatt]

He's now leading the league in points!

Also, as I mentioned in the OP, I'm not worried about Kopitar slowing down for LA, I'm worried about LA not being good enough for Kopitar while he's still in his prime. I'll keep him as long as he wants to stay, but if he wanted to chase more cups before he starts to slow down, I wouldn't blame him.

 

[Anguyen92]

I'm one that will advocate for the Kings to not trade Kopitar unless it's clear that he wants out for whatever reasons. However, you look at the last four years of his contract and in terms of actual dollars to be paid, it's not too bad for the other team if a trade were to happen, especially if Kings retain a reasonable part of it.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Love the guy that posted Anze Kopitar for Zach Werenski.

I love him too.

I was really high at the time.

 

[Yog S'loth]

If this guy played for the Leafs, he'd already be in the Hall of Fame with three hundred Hart trophies.

But he plays for the Kings, so he's worth Lucic + 2nd.

 

[YP44]

LA will not need the cap space while Kopitar's contract is on the books. So any deal would have to blow the doors off.

I'm on the side that LA should not only keep him but re-sign him

 

[heilongjetsfan]

What would teams be willing to trade for Kopitar? He has a large contract, but the Kings could take back plenty of salary if needed. I'm not sure that the Kings will be contending for a playoff spot by the time his contract is up and I'd hate to see him waste away on this brutal LA team. What's the interest on a guy like Kopitar?

If we hadn't gone out and got Stastny and Dubois, I'd be all over this.

If I'm the Kings though, I really want Kopitar to a) shelter and b) guide the amazing young centers coming into the organization.

Exactly hes a king for life

 

[oconnor9sean]

He already has two cups and has spent his entire career with one team. He’d be crazy to trade living in Southern California to go live in St Paul or Winnipeg or just about anywhere else.

But SoCal is an awful place. (So are Minnesota and Manitoba but that's beside the point.)

Yeah man, sure sucks to be a multi-millionaire living in Manhattan Beach.

It doesnt look like you have a lot of privacy.

It's not like anyone is going to hassle Kopitar for something if they spot him compared to if someone spotted a person like Lebron James at a random area in LA.

have you ever seen or been to the beach community that most the Kings live in, it’s far from “awful”.
