Red Wings' Andrew Copp Could Be Dealt Says NHL Insider
Despite recent team reports, Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos believes the Red Wings will consider dealing forward Andrew Copp Image The Detroit Red Wings are entering an important season for the franchise as they are looking to finally insert themselves into the playoff picture for the first time in nine seasons. Advertisement This means they need to make improvements to get themselves over the hump that kept them six or so wins out of the postseason this last year. Detroit has been rumored to be talking to several big name free agents while also looking to add depth in key areas of need like goaltending. To clear cap space, Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos believes the Red Wings could deal forward Andrew Copp and retain some of his salary. The radio host has been noted to have made hot takes in the past. NHL Rumour Report (@NHLRumourReport) on X NHL Rumour Report (@NHLRumourReport) on X Nick Kypreos: The Red Wings could be open to retaining a hefty amount of Andrew Copp's cap hit for the next two years in a trade - Sportsnet Advertisement The reports seem to be counter productive as many Detroit players noted that Copp is a strong, positive influence in the locker room. He played just 56 games this season before sustaining a season-ending injury in late February in which he needed surgery to repair his left pectoral tendon. Copp and others on the team like captain Dylan Larkin noted during their end of season press conferences that they went through too many skids this past season as the Red Wings went 4-5-1 to open up the season in October, hit another snag in December when they went 5-7-2 and again fell off in March, when they went 4-10-0 before finishing the season on a hot streak.

When wanting to limit something like this it's hard to imagine they would get rid of a player that is beloved by many on the team like Copp and it wouldn't disrupt the room and make things worse. Newcomer Patrick Kane even mentioned during his press conference how much he enjoyed playing with Copp as a teammate over his two years with the franchise. Advertisement Copp is a hometown kid from Ann Arbor who played at the University of Michigan, where he served as team captain in his third and final season. He was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets and early on solidified himself as a solid depth forward that had would produce 30-40 points. Copp came to the Red Wings before the 2022-23 season as a free agent and has shown to be a solid middle- to bottom-six forward that also kills penalties and is solid on the face-off dot with a 50.7 per cent winning percentage that ranks second on the team. The only problem is his contract is quite expensive for a depth forward as he makes $5.625 million per season with two more years left on his deal. This price point looks rough as of right now as he places him in the same conversation as the likes of Vincent Trocheck, Zach Hyman and Jonathan Marchessault. The trio of players all record 60-80 points or more while Copp lacks behind and this causes some to dislike his contract.

Additionally, the Florida Panthers just finished proving for the second straight year that every team needs role players to win and that's exactly what Copp can provide. He finds himself among the likes of Toronto's Scott Laughton and New York's Casey Cizikas, who are depth players that can make an impact but one not always felt on the scoresheet.

Red Wings Trade Targets: Ryan O'Reilly
Everyone needs centers. The Detroit Red Wings' center depth is being tested. Andrew Copp's injury should not be taken lightly, and acquiring a player to fill the void is of the utmost importance to the organization's long-term success. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. So they can't fill the position needlessly; they must find the player who is the right fit. In the last installment, we looked at Elias Pettersson. Today, we will turn our attention to a player with many different skills, Ryan O'Reilly of the Nashville Predators. Trade Board Ranking: 30 (The Athletic), 32 (Daily Faceoff), 28 (The Fourth Period) Contract: $4.5 million (Expires in 2026-27) Position: Center Age: 34 Shoots: Left Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 207 lbs Stat Line: 58 GP, 16 G, 23 A, 39 PTS, 18:53 TOI, 56.6 FO% 4 Red Wings Who Could Be Traded To New Teams The Detroit Red Wings will need to make decisions on these players. Former Red Wings Defender Signs New Deal Red Wings Connected To 3 Superstars Ville Husso Breaks Record With New Team Red Wings Smothered 2–1 by Carolina, Failing Test and Dropping Third Straight in Regulation Red Wings 2025 Trade Deadline Tracker Red Wings Were In On Recently Traded Defender The rumor mill is in full swing. O'Reilly has expressed his willingness to stay with the Predators this season and beyond, but that decision might be out of his hands. Nashville GM Barry Trotz is aware of where his team is in the standings and that they aren't in a position to compete this season. This leaves him in a difficult situation, one which the Red Wings might be able to take advantage of. O'Reilly might want to go to a contender, but he would be the perfect second-line center for the Red Wings. Tic tac GOAL — Nashville Predators (@PredsNHL) March 5, 2025 O'Reilly is the ultimate Swiss army knife. He can be utilized on the powerplay, penalty kill, and even strength. He is dynamite in the faceoff circle, owning a 56.6 percent success rate in the faceoff dot. He's taken the 14th-most faceoffs and has the 13th-best faceoff win percentage among players who have taken at least 500 draws. If a team is looking for a reliable two-way player who can help with faceoffs, it's tough to look at O'Reilly and think he's not the guy. Red Wings Trade Targets: Trevor Zegras Center is the most valued forward position. The only concern with O'Reilly would be his age. If the Red Wings make a play for him, it sends mixed signals. With the Wild Card position slowly slipping out of their grasp it's fair to say that they are far from being considered a contender. However, O'Reilly has already won a Stanley Cup, so that might not be his most important thing. Yes, every team wants to win the Cup. But, similarly to Patrick Kane, he might just want to be on a good team playing meaningful hockey. O'Reilly would certainly get meaningful hockey if he played for the Red Wings. It doesn't get much more meaningful than scratching and clawing to remain in the playoff picture. Do you think O'Reilly is the missing piece the Red Wings need? If the team acquired him, what would your reaction be? Let us know in the comments and vote in the poll. We would love to know what you think!
