Kucherov or prospect
Would you guys rather have kopitar or stamkos playing for the Lightning? If yzerman walks from stamkos in July say we offer kopitar a 9 million dollar a year deal for 7 years would you like that ?
Not really.
I'd say we'd go after someone cheaper
Like who ? Andrew Ladd ? A winger ?
I'd go for Kopitar at anything under $10m.
True but ovechkin has never had a major injury like his leg breaking in twoStamkos. No questions here. I love Kopitar but I also know what Stamkos is capable of. I'm willing to hold out to see if Steven is ever gonna reach that peak again. People left Ovechkin for dead a few years back and I'm not gonna give up on Stamkos yet.
I just hate his guts because he's been such a little you-know-what since June about his contract

Ovechkin also has much more hockey IQ, and Kopitar has been an elite two-way forward on multiple cup runs.. put him in the East system and I'd easily take him over current Stamkos.
Lightning and Kings played twice in the last couple of weeks. I was interested in watching Stamkos and Kopitar because they are in similar positions with their contracts. Kopitar is twice the 2 way player Stamkos is. It takes a couple of guys to ride him off the puck. He doesn't turn over the puck like Stamkos. He is not real flashy but he's the type you win championships with. Stamkos just can't create anymore with that rod in his leg. He will tease you with a glimmer of hope when he makes a great shot. But he is not the same player since that day in Boston.
Kopitar if it means less salary.
Kopitar is looking for big money, he'll be getting more than $9. I'd love to have him tho
Kopitar at $9-10 > Stamkos $12
I'd be happy with a large 2 way centre. our team is a bunch of pipsqueaks, lets get some more big bodies (i'm only like 85% kidding, I wish the team was a bit bigger so when we play the rough teams they don't get beat up too bad, once they start getting hit they don't use their speed and play their game)
Yeah, no way we get Kopitar but I would be very happy if we did. Trade Kopitar for Stamkos
