Capt Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Just now, Pete said: Using Kakko as bait to trade for a Strome replacement would be a very Rangers thing to do. Yes it would. There are all kinds of moving parts to the cap. Players become expendable when better players join your team. I would rather keep Kakko but moves are going to happen and nobody should be untouchable.

Cash or Czech Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Just now, Keirik said: Why? Quantify that, not just throw a statement Career high of 39 points, more of a north-south, physical and fast guy than a scoring center. Don't know if he meshes well with Panarin. Seems like he'd be better as the third in that trio with Strome/Panarin as a better Fast/Blackwell type than a true Strome replacement, and we're already tied up in cap space to risk that.

I like Strome but I hate his faceoffs. Production wise they are a 10 point difference from each other, or in other words, a Panarin of a difference. im not suggesting 100% to do it, but if Strome prices himself out?

RichieNextel305 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I love the Copp acquisition. But his true value is as a 3C IMO. I view him more there than on a 2nd line. Brings more to the table in that role as a defensive presence who can chip in offensively than in a primary scoring role centering someone like Panarin. A 3rd line with Goodrow, Vatrano and Copp is solid as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he flops here he’s going to surpass that and if he flops, it’s an easy decision to walk away anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Copp as a third line staple is great as your second line center not so much. Copp will define a role for himself here, pretty quickly too. Drury seems to building a team not just collecting talent. It's great to see who he targeted. Hopefully that means something when dealing with the cap next year.

Worked well for Strome who perennial had 35 point seasons, sans his first full year, until he found a guy named Artemi. I’m not sure we can just dismiss it so easily.

Shesty Cola Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 These moves seemed to be done with the expectation right or wrong that Kakko and Laffy will become bonafide producing top 6 players. Otherwise we probably didn't move the needle enough to compete with the crem de la crem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 You guys are underrating Copp. He has paced 58 and 51 points last year and this year, most of which at even strength playing 18-20 minutes a night. He chews up minutes in all situations. He’s absolutely a potential 2C option if Strome is getting too expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
