MTL aren't going to waste their last retention slot for a 6th round pick unfortunately

Copp has carved out a role centering a checking line with Rasmussen and Fischer.

They're a real pain in the arse to play against.

I'm not sure Copp would waive his NTC.

He's a Michigan boy and he's mentioned the Rangers never even made him a contract offer when he was a UFA.

Rangers aren't trading Kakko for Mango.

Besides Flames don't retain on any player.

Detroit isn't doing the first, Montreal isn't doing the second, Rangers aren't doing the last.

Copp declines, And it would cost a 1st round pick alone to take on the Barclay Goodrow contact. The trade absolutely makes zero sense.

Calgary declines.
