Value of: Kopitar to Montreal

[ole ole]

Dude has a NMC. The **** he waive that for the habs for?

Ya maybe he'd waive to go to those almighty Rangers.

Rangers are rebuilding. The f*** would they want with Kopitar and the f*** would he want to go to a rebuilding team for? Habs are not contending and not rebuilding. They are just going to be a fringe bubble team for a long ass time.

If the Rangers are rebuilding and the Habs aren't, then the Rangers are doing a pretty crappy job of it. They might just suck.

You people come here and expect the Habs to trade away some of our futures for the 32 year old Kopitar where our team is not ready to go all in yet? The least you can do is come to the Bell Center, buy a hot dog, and watch our team play!

Conversely, there are some in this thread who expect the rebuilding Kings to trade their #1 Center for the past dozen years and to take on cap dumps and vets, when the Kings are trying to get younger.

Both sides are guilty of ignoring organization direction and needs for the other team.

Don't be sensitive about the meh offers trying to steal away your talent. If I was a Kings fan, Kopitar is a keeper. Too bad he is 32 and not 28. Still a very good value from 32-38 but as time moves forward your opinion might change on the direction you should take. How long will it take the Kings to do a reset? Hard to predict

 

[King'sPawn]

If anything Kopitar might fall off faster than Price... goalies tend to take longer to get into the league but also age better

Kopitar is extremely durable. Leads the entire 2005 draft class in games played.

Has led the team in scoring for all but two seasons (his rookie year and the year he played through injury). Continues to lead the misfits in scoring despite being "old" by some remarks here.

Not sure how you think Price would age better, nor this statement that goalies "age" better in general.

Doesn't seem to be a good fit for the two orgs anyway, so it's a moot point.

Are you on drugs? That doesnt make any sense. Of course the rangers are rebuilding. They are trading away everyone for prospects and draft picks. Teams that are rebuilding are supposed to lose games. Are you just new to hockey?

An RFA and a ppg 27 year old. That doesnt change the rebuild. Trouba was still an RFA so how can you even think to use that one?

I'm only saying, if the Rangers, who are going younger around a bunch of veterans are rebuilding, but Montreal, who are going younger around a bunch of veterans isn't rebuilding, then it doesn't make much sense. Especially since both teams have deep prospect pools and Montreal has more picks for the upcoming draft.

Or are you the only one allowed to troll on here?

Kopitar's down year correlated to the arrival of their kid. Same happened to Brown, but Brown had 4 friggin kids so there were a lot of down years haha.

He is a PPG #1 center who is elite defensively. If the habs were lucky enough to get him they would be a contender for the next couple of years till him and Weber start tailing off.

What vets are the rngers building around. They are trading them all away. Habs arent trading vets for picks and icing a team that wont win. IF you think the habs are rebuilding then the f*** they doing keeping so many vets for? Are they worse at rebuilding then being a franchise?

I didn't say that the Rangers are building around veterans. I said they're going young around veterans. And last I checked, Panarin is a veteran, Lundqvist is a veteran, Zibanejad is veteran, Panarin is a veteran and Kreider is a veteran. You do understand that veteran is an experience thing, not an age thing, right?

And what keeping Vets? They just moved Shaw in the off-season. They just want their young guys to earn ice-time before moving veterans out. I suspect that's why Kreider is still in a blueshirt.

Lundqvist has a full no move so he isnt going anywhere. The rangers are the youngest team in the league. Mika is 26. He would still be an rfa if he wasnt already signed. Pnaarian was 27. He is the only vet that has any part of the teams future. Everyone else is gone when their bad contract expires.

he's 1 year left of rfa LOL, rangers traded a 1st for him cause thats what rebuilding teams do.....

You make it sound like Montreal's loaded up with vets. Price has a NMC. Weber will stick around as long as he's useful, then he'll either get moved to Nashville or retire. Most other key guys are either young or more likely gone in the next couple of years. And as is, only Columbus and Ottawa have more cap space than the Habs atm.

Rangers traded the lowest 1st round pick they had in that draft. They had 3. They used one to aquire a piece they needed for the next 7 years 5 of which will be in prime years. They also don;'t make that move if they didn get the 2nd overall. Trouba is still young. The f*** you acting like he is Alzner for? Thats shit was bad.

This thread should just be closed. Kopitar is a wealthy, 2 time cup champ that lives in a near mansion a block from the beach with 2 small children at home. Why on earth would he ever want to play somewhere else?

It's possible the Habs are a middle of the pack team and fringe playoff team for a while but we don't know how good those prospect are (good or bad). So we can't push a certain plan based on a future prediction that you consider is a fact. I respect that you want to go after Kopitar and I would love to have him but the price to acquire is massive. Forget about the prospects and futures you would have to include for a second, What proven piece you going to dangle that you think the Kings would value? Cause prospects and picks only won't get it done

Nice try at trying to prop your team up by spreading BS.
Sorry your wrong
Avs have the average youngest team in the league.
The Rangers have the 7th youngest roster.
The Habs sit in the 8th spot.

Yeah... thats not a real accurate source since it says our youngest player is chytil who is actually 2 years older then our youngest player. SWING AND A MISS SPORT

 

[Tanknation]

Not happening
Habs will not mortage their future for Kopitar. Kopitar is not waiving his no trade to come to Montreal. No more to be said about this useless thread

didnt the Oilers teach us all that you cant have a team filled with young people you need vets Bergevin might not be trading all hes older players but hes not trading picks or younger players for rentals neither hes sticking with hes youth
