Description

OVERVIEW: reverted the 3 trades b/t NYR and WPG

NOTES
Rangers never sign Trocheck or Goodrow (NOTES: just traded them to AZ just to get them off the roster)
re-signed Vatrano
Rangers fail to find a trade partner for Hayes - buyout in 23-24
During the year paper transaction Cuylie and Schneider to bank cap space. Also fine with dropping one of khaira or aston-reese and go with 22 and call-up a FW when needed

The Rangers really overpaid for Copp.

Way too much for a player who never had more than 15 goals or 40 points in a season. He only had 9G 33A for DET this year - all that for 5.625 mil a year.

NY is not the team that gave Copp 5.6 mil.
They got what they paid for and then some. NY went to ECF with Copp being a big piece.

Despise people spouting off ignorant comments with ignorant reasoning.

I am not denying he was a piece that helped NYR get to the ECF. I still feel it was an overpay. Frank Vatrano was acquired for a 4th rd pick (BTW - another big piece to the team in getting to the ECF). Compare his career stats to Copp (Vatrano:482 GP 211 pts .473 ppg Copp: 565 GP 244 pts .431ppg) - pretty similar. If talking the playoff run Copp had 14 pts (cost Barron 22 1st rd pick, 22 2nd rd pick and 5th rd pick) and Vatrano 13 pts (cost 22 4th rd pick). 1 extra playoff point for what was given up is an overpay.

I did not say NY gave him that money. The first portion of my reply provided reasoning on why I felt it was an overpay for Copp. The 2nd portion of my response was providing this years stats as further proof of an overpay. I am pretty sure DET was expecting more than 9 goals for the money they paid Copp.

Would have rather have had Copp( w/out the 5.6 hit) than Kane this past year. What a waste of time and resources to accommodate him. Now that was an overpay!!
