Andrew Copp traded to the New York Rangers

Former Winnipeg Jets center Andrew Copp has been traded to the New York Rangers, along with a 2023 sixth-round pick, in exchange for prospect center Morgan Barron, two conditional second-round picks, and a 2023 fifth-round pick. The first conditional second-round pick becomes a 2022 first-round pick if the Rangers win two rounds this year and Copp plays 50% of the games. The second conditional pick is Winnipeg's choice of St. Louis's 2022 second-round pick, initially acquired by New York in the Pavel Buchnevich trade, or New York's 2023 second-round pick. Copp is on the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $3.64M. Barron has one year remaining on his entry-level contract, valued at $0.925M per year. (Darren Dreger on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Copp immediately provides a massive boost to New York's playoff push as a middle-six forward. The 27 year-old has 13 goals, 22 assists, and 35 points in 56 games this season. If available in fantasy leagues, he should be added, given his new team. A good even-strength player, he also takes face-offs particularly well. Barron, just 23, serves as a gritty depth piece for Winnipeg and should be disregarded for fantasy. He has one point in 13 games this season.
