Jets accept. Getting something for Copp is fine with me.

i doubt phi takes that. but that roster is sexy

swap kreids and bread tho

I agree with @Mr_Canoehead the Jets would take this offer.

Its a tough one for me, the only reason why Im willing to go as far as trading Nils is because I am confident we can resign Copp.

Krav's talent hasnt fallen off, only the attitude he displayed at the beginning of the year putting a stain on things. However his dislike for the Rangers org may give Phili a reason to want him.

If you can re-sign Copp on a decent deal that would be great for the Rangers. Copp does not cheat the game.

Im hoping with him being BFF's with Trouba, we can get a good deal on him.

I think we have a deal

Honestly that's a fair take, he is close with him so I could see him taking a decent deal to stay. I'd think 5 years at 4.25 million could get it done.

Geez, thats even less than what I thought, I was thinking 4.5m. Every little bit will help the Rangers tight cap situation.

Ultimately, I think thats what it will come down to. Either a 2nd round pick or a lower pick with semi-decent prospect.

Hawks accept!

I was thinking that he’s probably looking at 4.75 million for 5 years in Winnipeg. But with being in a US market with less tax I’m sure he’d take 4.25 million.

Well, NY is one of the highest taxed states in the US. So.... 4.5m haha

Spot on.

I just noticed there is a tax calculator on this site: https://www.capfriendly.com/income-tax-calculator/4500000/rangers

I haven't read the details, but something to play around with.

What’s more realistic, a 3rd? 2nd?

Look at Copps numbers and play. Hes about as consistent as it get. 200 ft player whos scoring numbers steadily have been going up. I think hes worth a back end 1st, a top notch prospect, or a 2nd + a ver good prospect. I offer up Nils because Im fairly certain that we can resign him keeping the 5 year window with the vets we have alive. Our center depth has been the most crippling part of our team. This solidifies it.

I know what you think he’s worth, I see the proposal!

He’s going to be a rental. Rangers can’t afford to re-sign him.

I’m thinking a 3rd + 4th (becomes 2nd if rangers make ECF).

They sure can afford to resign him, which is why Im willing to give up a bit extra.

If the deal is Copp for Chytil + Nemeth they might be able to squeeze him in

You have to assume the Rangers find a home for Nemeth in the offseason. However Chytil does not have a comparable value to Copp. Its not even close.

Is it a tight squeeze? Sure. The top 6 is the same as we have now, doable. PP doesnt change. 3rd line is a huge upgrade from what we have. Defense is pretty much the same. Could use a better back up goalie but its doable.

Good job fitting him next season.
Can you keep everyone the following season?

Still doesn’t match up to what he’s paying in taxes here lol. It’s 49.92% for tax here. Plus there’s more value in NY in terms of sponsorships.
