Might as well sign some UFA's and get even better.I don't think you're even at the cap floor here. Dang I didn't realize how much cap space NJ has.

Kopitar isn't waiving for NJ, Raymond goes top 5 and no guarantee's NJ gets top 5 pick Askorov wont be ready for 2-3 years no t next year. Yeah sorry NJ wont be in cup contention for at least another 5 years or so they're pretty much like Detroit bad.

This is an insane proposal for Kopitar - and the Kings run with it. A 33 year old center for 2 B prospects, a 3rd line energy winger, and two (what will be) top-10 draft picks in the next two years? Koptiar and Vlasic don't get the Devils to the playoffs, let alone a Cup. They need scoring wingers up front and some of their defensive prospects to shape up.

LA won't move Kopitar or I don't think Kopitar would want to come to NJ. Vlasic is also declining and playing Smith on the first pair on his off-side in his first season is less than ideal

This isn't a cup team, even making the playoffs is questionable.

SJ accept.

no kidding

man this is horrendous. we're giving up a kings ransom (no pun intended) for an aging Kopitar and then giving away prospects to acquire one of the worst contracts in the league?

after aquiring another of the worst contracts in the league last year in Subban

Can someone post the conversation between Kopitar and GM Rob Blake on waiving his NTC to play in the swamp?
TVR would cost more or sign for that much on a contender
