He is just 25 years old and can be even better. We've never seen more than 81 points out of Kopitar in a single 82-game season, but he is capable of more than that. Consistency issues have been the only things to hold him back from challenging for one of the top spots in fantasy hockey. Can bringing the Cup to L.A. help him take the next step as a superstar? Or does maturing into his mid-20s make him stronger for this season? Maybe. It doesn't help that he is starting the campaign with a knee strain and may not be on the ice until closer to February. But when the basement production is still phenomenal and the overall missed time isn't expected to be excessive, there isn't much risk in leaning on Kopitar asone of the the pillars of your team. The Stanley Cup-winning lineup returns almost completely intact for the Kings, and Kopitar will produce with the same linemates he has had for several seasons now: Dustin Brown and Justin Williams. The secondary support from Mike Richards and Jeff Carter will also take some of the defensive pressure off Kopitar's unit.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":7.8,"playerRater15DAY":5.4,"positionRank":13}
