Andrew Copp: our analysis
2025-26 season: 79 GP, 9 G, 34 A, 43 PTS, +3 +/-, 16:34 TOI. WAR -1.6 (614th of 615) · PAL 48, around average.
In 2025-26, Andrew Copp, 32, posts a PAL Rating of 48 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -1.6 ranks 614th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: defense (64, above average), penalty kill (64, above average) and creation (63, above average). On the other hand, power play (16, well below average) and shooting (19, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.9); his biggest cost: finishing (-11.8).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 24 in 2024-25 to 48; his WAR, though, went from -0.0 to -1.6.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 31 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Andrew Copp's story
Ann Arbor provided the backdrop for Andrew Copp's early years, where both parents were involved in skating and youth hockey and he developed on local ice before branching out into high school football as a way to add physicality. A broken collarbone cut short his senior football season at Skyline High, after which he focused fully on hockey.
Copp went on to play three seasons with the Michigan Wolverines, earning a captaincy in his junior year. He opened his collegiate career with 11 goals and 10 assists in 38 games, improved to become one of the team's leading scorers and received All-Big Ten recognition before electing to turn pro. His play at Michigan led to his selection by the Winnipeg Jets at 104th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
He signed a three-year entry-level contract with Winnipeg in March 2015 and made his NHL debut on April 11, 2015, registering an assist in that first game. Copp settled into the Jets' lineup, scored his first NHL goal against Columbus and later had his salary set by arbitration to a two-year deal. A standout night came on March 24, 2021, when he recorded his first career hat-trick and added a fourth goal in the same contest.
At the 2022 trade deadline Copp was dealt to the New York Rangers, where he scored his first goal for the club within days and, in April, notched another hat-trick—an unusual feat achieved entirely in the first period. On July 13, 2022, Copp signed a five-year contract to join the Detroit Red Wings. In February 2025 he suffered a torn pectoral muscle that required surgery and ended his season.
Internationally, Copp represented the United States at the 2012 IIHF World U18 Championships, recording one assist on the way to a gold medal. He is a centre known for combining goal-scoring and playmaking at both collegiate and professional levels, and for assuming leadership roles when called upon.
