I don't think the Bruins need Copp at all. They need a 2C..... badly. They maybe looking for secondary scoring, just don't see that fit.
I also don't see the Kings adding a rental. If Balke adds, it is going to be someone with term. Makes no sense at all for the Kings to move futures for a rental at this stage.
In the case of both players, the Jets can retain salary, increasing the return, and opening up the market for them more.
Example: Copp at 50% retained would likely interest the Flames. If the rumours are true.....
Statsny at 50% retained should have almost every contender kicking a tire.
