Guest Writer: Winnipeg Jets @ San Jose Sharks: Game #2 Preview

Another newbie like me last year. Solid work on your blog. Welcome.

I doubt Paul will do it, but I would like to see Perfetti up with Line 2, swapped with Copp.

I've seen snakes with better hands than Copp.

Pssst.....Stastny rather than Stasney

Copp's shot is just so weak, if his stonehands aren't causing him to fumble a pass he just doesn't have much power behind his shot, he's so very not a top six talent.

I want to see Svechnikov with Dubois. I am hoping that Maurice loads up that first line. Ideally, I would love to see:

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Perfetti-Dubois-Svechnikov
Stastny-Copp-Wheeler
Harkins-Lowry-Vesalainen

Three scoring lines with a fourth that can check and possibly even score.

Curious, what do you think Copp could fetch in a trade?

I gotta say, the top 3 lines are soooo solid!!!

Dumpster fire in Winnipeg right now.

4-3 SJ late 3rd period! This was the Sharks first game of the season.

I'm not really sure, I think he should've been moved in the offseason as an RFA for a dman or for pick(s) to replace some of the picks lost in the Dillon and Schmidt acquisitions.

As for what they could fetch for Copp as a UFA I'm guessing maybe a mid to late 2nd at most though I'm guessing that'd only be from a team that intended to really push to re-sign him.

I think he's easily replaced internally and they have enough guys that can slide to center if needed.

I expect Chevy to sign Copp to something around $3.75M × 4 years so I doubt he's going anywhere.
