I think Copp was brought in not only for his talent but because, like many of us, Drury isn’t sold on Strome.
I certainly am not sold on Strome. He takes stupid penalties and IMO is a liability at times that happens to score goals, being fed by Panarin. However, Panarin’s talent mesh with others as well, as we have seen with Copp. I would much rather keep Copp around that Strome.
The problem is, Copp is probably going to command more than we can really offer. On Valtrano, I think we could keep him if we want, but that’s up to Drury.
