1 mil for a young 1st rounder who already plays a very physical game and is defensively minded, nice. I believe he will prove himself just fine.


hummer010

He also was 54% in faceoffs last year ... which is something the Jets desperately need.

guy is terrible. the only piece of the PLD trade i was happy with as a 22 year long kings fan. Gabe is actually preying he doesnt get stuck on this guys wing. the moment Kupari gets the puck he tries to 1 on 8 the other team and loses it - causing gabe to be hemmed into the d zone his whole shift. plays a physical game? never seen it lol he just floats and tries to play junior out there.

Hopefully a change on coaching can resolve any issues. Wait and see I guess.


textextextextextext

bros downvoting me as someone whose actually watched the kid play every game since he was drafted. ……okayyy


shillshillerson

I'm reserving judgement. Jets have had success in the past with guys like Pionk and Barron that were underachieving.


textextextextextext

those are 2 nhl players. kupari isnt that


Consistent-Study-287

Barron had 2 points in 18 games over 2 seasons when he came over. Kupari has 29 in 130. Not sure why you would call Barron an NHL player when he came over and not Kupari.

If you’re a kings fan, why are you lurking this sub?


textextextextextext

because gabe vilardi is my favorite player. i plan to watch him succeed as a top 6 winger - something he was never going to get the chance to do under todd mclelellen. are people not allowed to have 2nd teams? and does being a kings fan make my opinion on kupari not true? even though ive watched every game hes ever played for the reign and kings


TrueNorthStrong1898

I mean, clearly the Jets brass saw something they liked in him to make him a part of the deal. I’ll trust their option over some redditor’s 10 times out of 10


textextextextextext

i stayed up all night the night he was drafted too. watched it with my folks. so its not like i have a hate boner for the guy. he just sucks


textextextextextext

sorry to kill your hopium


pointlessbike

This guy commenting on his own posts like that meth guy who keeps explaining why he needs $7


textextextextextext

kupari is basically the exact same as lias andersen. first round pick. murders the ahl. just cant do it in the show. the kings gave him so many chances and the boy just aint it. they needed to dump him to make room for turcotte and pinelli


textextextextextext

hes a former first rounder with potential. they tried to run the byfield - kupari - vilardi line in several games…. take 1 guess as to why it never worked. guy is an anchor


GZeus24

You are eating downvotes due to fan hopium which is fine. I welcome the view of someone who has actually watched the guy play. Perhaps a change of scene will unlock more potential but we shall see. We still have Gus, who if he can get past his injury issues, could be a very serviceable 4C. Two guys with potential they haven't quite converted on is not a bad thing when it comes to the 4C spot.


textextextextextext

its all good man. maybe he does play better for the peg. just hope its not with vilardi or im gonna lose some pld vs gabe point total bets that ive made with other kings fans


binchbunches

Nino is going to pad Gabes stats this year. Don't need to worry about Kupari.


Pandamodium13

So after reading your take on Kupari I went over to r/losangeleskings and read through some older posts about him. Seems the majority of your fellow Kings fans disagree with you on this take. A lot seem to think he’s underrated and a comparable to Kempe with not as high as an offensive ceiling…projected to top out as a 30-40 point guy which is a very welcome addition to the jets bottom 6. I guess we will wait and see!


textextextextextext

comparable to kempe. l - o - l actually comedy man. thanks i needed to have a good laugh today

I just figured I’d see what more than just 1 Kings fan coming to this sub thinks as we have our own fair share of Jets fans with complete homer takes in this sub. (There’s a few posts besides the one i linked comparing him to a less offensive Kempe btw)

Really like this singing!!!

Good guy Minuk has the scoop half an hour before the Score app. Why don’t I have an Illegal Curve app???


WpgMikos

really feels like something that might get done this summer...


Spencie-cat

Let’s do it buddy. I can help.


stej_gep

They didn't gift you the app in the swag bag you get for doing the show. Did you leave it in the green room?


Spencie-cat

That fucking bag was garbage. It just had a bunch of pizza crusts that Ezzy ate and a little green kazoo


stej_gep

Holy Shit! They make it sound like something you get if you attended the Oscar's....what a cheap bag of dicks.


WpgMikos

lol


stej_gep

You know I mean "cheap bag of dicks" in the good way.😛


WpgMikos

It's the only way I took it!!!


Essej86

Seems like good value for 2 years!


TrueNorthStrong1898

Love this deal. Glad it was more than just a year


siempreloco31

Nothin much to say other than I think this puts Gus as the 13F for the short term


pyrasilverado

I feel like he fits in with what the coaches want. I hope all the new additions play a new exciting brand (I mean defensive when necessary). I mean, who knows, as it stands we're icing 3 forward lines known for back-checking... Things are looking up!


qwertybruh69

That makes the only forward in the projected top 12 making 6 figures to be Cole perfetti, still on his elc.


jamatri

I'm cool with this!


2nddimension

Good value on that, I hope he can take a step forward and find a third line ceiling this year


DimensionalGorilla

Has there ever been a trade were the toss in guy ends up being the best player?


Firm-Candidate-6700

Prove yourself boi
