idk whats up with the Kopitar obsession but MB will never trade the top prospects it would take to acquire him,he refused Poehling for ROR who was much younger and better so no way he trades KK or a top 10 pick for a 10mill declining center let alone both,that would be such a horrible trade that would hunt us for years
Kopitar is not in massive decline. Deal was with retention down to $7M as well. You don't have to agree but at least get the details right. The points below is likely what you are thinking...
1) Let Lafreniere grow with young centers like Suzuki and KK and if they get targeted, so what. We are a rebuilding team right?
2) Who cares about Price, Weber and other vets. We will be much better in 3 or 4+ years when all the vets are gone and our prospect pool turns us into the next Lightning. All our vets are going to decline very fast here soon.
3) Kotkaniemi will be a 1C for sure and Kopitar will decline like Gomez.
