Yeah I'm thinking this could be the perfect play for both sides. If he has a year as good as last year you can lock him up on a 3 year term, he is the perfect 4th line player and comes cheap. From mottes camps perspective this is a show me deal, he wants to show he can do even more and get paid for it. I'm good with either scenario! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Stop it. Get some help. If he was “the perfect 4th line player” he’d be 6’5, fast and played the same brand. Not 5 foot 10 and 192 lbs at weigh-in... in September, not April. The creed-bar of low expectations is a cult phenomenon here. Having got that ditty out there, awesome, good signing. Glad to have him back and on a 2-way to boot. Edited July 3, 2019 by 189lb enforcers? 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect as far as cost to performance and style of play. If there was a "6’5, fast and played the same brand" player on the market the numbers would be north of 3 million... that's the opposite of perfect.

He has a little Kirk Maltby / Chris Draper thing going (I still think of those two as one player). I thought I was alone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 975k?! Steaaal! I expect him to get a hefty raise next season. Motter is a beauty! Glad we actually got a solid piece from that vanek trade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Drunken Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Love it, Motte shows up to play every night and is a tremendously hard worker- he deserves it. Why does everybody sh!t talk each other on here so vigorously? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButterBean Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I like having him on a 1 year deal. Gives him all the motivation to play better. He was contributing offense pretty well for the first half of the season considering he was playing with Beagle and then came along Eriksson, who completely sucked the life out of that line. Assuming he makes the roster, I would like to see MacEwan play on his line to add some size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 200 hits put him 1st on the canucks by a mile and at #26 in the entire league.

If this was the old school NHL then I'd agree with you. However, times have changed over the past 20 years and I don't think size has anything to do with what's the perfect 4th liner anymore. It's the same with the prototypical stay at home defensemen being ditched for more mobile defensemen. It's all about mobility and the willingness to grind now more than it is size. As far as Motte goes, I'm not going to say he's perfect, but there are a lot 6 foot 5 players aren't perfect 4th line players either.

Motte likely, though love the optimism, also great to see him return. He had a great year last season, looking forward to see him continue to do so this season.

Rob_Zepp Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 4 hours ago, oldnews said: No, it doesn't. 7.7 is a bogus calculation from Capfriendly - that includes all signed D - 10 of them, including Sautner, Brisebois and Fantenberg - nnd it includes 13 forwards already, 2 of whom will have to make way for Boeser and Leivo,, with Goldobin on the edge competing for a spot. In other words - add about 4 million of cap space to account for the players already included in that calculation that will not be on the roster. Nice to see someone understands how the CAP works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
