Why Andrew Copp's offensive production with the Red Wings dipped again

Fans on social media had a field day about Andrew Copp's drop in offensive production this past season. Copp, in his first two seasons with the Red Wings, in fact, hasn't come close to duplicating his final season before entering free agency. More than ever, with coach Derek Lalonde able to deploy pure offensive players, Copp was used in a defensive role, charged with shutting down opponents' scoring lines. Copp and his linemates largely did the job well.
