Come back to where he really made a name for himself and try and finish what he started with his teammates. Would this management group want Motte back? I don’t think they would, even at a mil.

He is really hoping a team will give him some juice. looks like Allvin read the market well on him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they wanna take any chances that our pk flounders again. Motte is an elite pker that would be well worth to the value at a mil.

But then we'd have to waive Dickie to fit Motte in. Also fine, but not sure we do that given Motte doesn't take face-offs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland Pettersson Podkolzin Kuzmenko Miller Boeser Hoglander Horvat Mikayev Motte Lazar Pearson Joshua Dickinson has a contract though. We can waive him and send him to the minors, I guess. But is that a good move? I don’t think Motte is really going to be a difference maker, so no point in messing up what already is here. I do like your lines though. Just put Dickinson in Motte’s spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzmenko doesn’t kill penalties. Petey can if they wanna go that route again. Or they can hope Dickinson can regain his form. For 1 mil I take Motte over Lockwood any day of the week. Joshua has also not proven to be a regular in the lineup yet. Edited September 2, 2022 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No true "stars" in the McBaby or MacKinnon sense, but just strong all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t assume he’s going to be a regular fourth liner. He’ll most likely be in and out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine without Motte Except having Motte would mean we don’t need to wear other forwards down. Keeping fresh wingers to focus on offense is important. Thats only two guys. You need at least 6 pkers.

Well Canucks want speed and Lockwood has it younger version of Motte..I agree Lockwood will be #14 10- Pearson - 11 Lazar- 12 Dickinson 13. Joshua --14.
