Ravenous Kraken and Slime Question

If you place an Amorphous Slime down and it has a Thaddius in it and you use Ravenous Kraken to kill the Slime and place “a copy” of it inside the Kraken. Does the slime from the Krakens deathrattle still contain a Thaddius or does it summon an empty Slime?

Iv wanted to test this but was always afraid it would summon an empty Slime. However it does say copy but is worded “a copy” I fear when they say “a copy” and not simply “copy” it will just summon an empty Slime when i kill the Kraken right?

Card text
Amorphous Slime - Battlecry: Discard a random undead. / Deathrattle: Summon a copy of it.

Ravenous Kraken - Battlecry: Destroy a friendly minion. / Deathrattle: Summon a copy of it.

I know when slime eats a hand buffed Thaddius it loses the buff when summoned by Slime so it is not copied from hand. I assume it works the same with Kraken but i wanted to ask to make sure instead of trying it in game and looking like a fool lol.

It summons an empty Slime.

Kraken doesn’t record any buffs or effects from the minion it destroys, so its Deathrattle just summons a fresh copy without the Battlecry effect.

Carnivorous Cube and other similar effects work the same way.
