JM_ Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Rick gets all his info from agents, so I think the Halak stuff is just posturing. Halak would likely waive for a contender. If not, he can sit out imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Not the slightest surprised to hear there's interest in an high engine player like Motte.... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 yay, teams like one of our 4th liners, unless we get a 1st (which I think is ridiculous) then I would not move him, because then we need to go looking for a replacement and we have not had a good bottom 6 since 2011 (and even then it was an amazing 3rd line and some 4th line plugs) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don't understand the willingness to trade the only good players we have. There's q reason teams are interested. He is one of the best bottom 6 players in the league. We finally get a good one who isn't a pylon and want to trade him? Motte is young, you build your bottom 6 around him and sign him long term. He's been playing 3rd line minutes lately and deserves to be paid like a 3rd line winger who can kill penalties and score the odd goal, 10-15 in a full season is pretty likely. We're not going to get a massive return on him anyway and no prospect or 2nd-3rd round pick is worth what he brings to the table. It's no surprise Highmore looks so good, he's playing alongside Motte. 12 3 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Canucks Curse Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 I rather try to get Dickinson moved for 2nd or get our 3rd back, a little too much cap for what he brings - he is not fast, he is not a physical force, not great on Fosses, not great PKer 1 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent prospect or 2nd is better than either overpaying him or letting him walk for nothing. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 teams should be interested in Schenn - cup winner and playing good minutes right now in our top 4, could try to get an asset like a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no surprise Highmore looks so good, he's playing alongside Motte. I don't think it boils down to willingness so much as a few other things. As a pending UFA what's he going to be asking for? What kind of extension does he want and what can we afford to pay him? As of right now we don't have a ton of cap to work with over the next couple seasons; we've got decisions to make on other plays in: Boeser, Horvat, Miller, Hoglander. Even guys like Lammikko and Highmore are due for raises as pending RFA's. Luongo's cap coming off the books is eaten up by the increase of the Virtanen and Holtby buyouts next season, we might have to deal with Halak's bonus on the books as well. Yes, he's a good player, but the reality is we're a capped out team and the cap won't be going up significantly any time soon. There's also the question of whether we're willing to lose him for nothing or not if management doesn't see the cap working out how they'd like. I'd rather get an asset. Moving a player out in that sense, us trading Vanek, is how we got Motte in the first place. Edited January 17, 2022 by Coconuts 1 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have Lockwood on an ELC next year. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockwood, in the system and needing a spot, may make sense to move Motte. Love Motte, but field offers, price him high, see what happens imho. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
