I like the idea of a player like Copp. Why are we trading Chytil for a 3rd pairing defenseman one year from RFA when we have Nils and Schneider to compete for the 3rd pair RHD spot?

Please yes, give up tons for Copp. He is not worth a 1st and a good prospect

Ottawa accepts.

There is probably very little chance that Winnipeg trades Copp if he won't re-sign for another LD prospect.

How are you paying kappo, fox and your top 2 centers next year with Laf's coming up after?

I like trading for Copp though I'd drop that 1st to a 2nd and get rid of Harkens. I also wouldn't pay Copp that much. Doubt he gets anything over $4.5mil AAV, and even that is on the high side. I'd drop the Chytil trade all together. He's the only one of the three centers we currently have who is cost controlled for the next several years. If you need to trade one of them, Strome makes way more sense.

Awful.

Thanks but no thanks from CHI. We are not in need of more Centres like Chytil, and we are not hot on the idea of moving our best D man and a 2nd for that return.
