J.T Miller and 4 Other Forwards the Toronto Maple Leafs Could Trade For
By Mike Jack
Andrew Copp
Team: Winnipeg Jets
Position: Centre/Left Wing
Age: 27
Games: 47
Goals: 12
Points: 28
Cap Hit: $3.64 million (UFA next season)
Andrew Copp is an excellent two-way forward playing with the Winnipeg Jets.
He has experience as a centre, but though centre depth is always a good thing, I see him more as a left winger playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Copp would probably find himself on Toronto’s third line but could play on the second line if needed. He scores a decent amount of goals and can put up some points. He’s also Winnipeg’s top penalty killing forward.
He’s a gritty player full of heart, I think he’d be a welcomed addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs. At $3.64 million, he’s the cheapest contract on this list.
I placed him ahead of Phil Kessel on this list, because Andrew Copp plays left wing, his contract is more manageable, and he has a lot more to his game defensively.
