Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted July 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2019 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed centre Tyler Motte to a one-year, one-way contract valued at $975,000. "Tyler plays a physical, two-way game that complements our forward group," said Benning. "He's strong on the forecheck, helps our penalty kill and showed he can contribute offensively last year. We're pleased to have Tyler continue his career as a member of the Vancouver Canucks." Motte, 24, recorded 16 points (9-7-16) and 10 penalty minutes in 74 games played with Vancouver last season. The 5'10", 192-pound centre has played 153 career NHL games (18-12-30) with Vancouver, Columbus and Chicago. The St. Clair, MI, native has played 67 games in the American Hockey League (21-11-32) and before turning pro, played three seasons with the University of Michigan, recording 105 points (50-55-105) in 107 games played. Motte has also represented team USA at the 2013 World Junior Championships (silver medal). Motte was originally acquired by Vancouver in a trade along with Jussi Jokinen in exchange for Thomas Vanek on February 26, 2018. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-tyler-motte/c-308170794 6 1 2 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kanukfanatic Posted July 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2019 Good contract for a hard working guy. NHL contracts are weird. Schaller gets 1.9 million last year and showed nothing. Motte is a pitbull and never takes a shift off and gets 900k. Great value for this contract. 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Glad to see him around for another year. Will be interesting to see if he can progress his game further. He may be able to double his salary one a 3 year deal or so if at the very least plays consistently to the levels of last year and hitting maybe 20-25 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogs & Podz Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Perfect age, perfect 4th line penalty killing roll for this team going forward. Does this mean, that Schaller is moved or sent down to Utica? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
