Oh... you were eluding to last years shortened season and this years season that is only 2/3's completed...112 games to be exact. Still trying to figure out how a player who is 7th in ice time amongst forwards and has scored 17 goals in his last 82 games is "a great 4th liner but not a great 3rd liner". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Ufa, has a history of injuries, could garner a pick, save some cap, and apparently wants more than we can afford. All of these trade talks have centered around cap relief, and his contract is the most likely to be dealt. He's not your typical 4th liner, he's fantastic, but we can't afford to pay him like a 3rd liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thr moment you trade Motte, you will be looking to find a player just like him. Popular teammate, low maintenance, competes every game, and has a heart of a lion. Sometimes when you have a good fit, dont let it go. As we should learn from the Toffoli and Tanev situation. Id be moving heaven and earth to get rid of Dickinson and Poolman to keep Motte. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativika Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Lammikko seems to be the guy if Motte ends up going somewhere else. Brandon Sutter after getting back to health could be the 3rd wheel for that line. I'm not worried if we lose Motte at deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sell.the.team Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Tyler Motte has turned into one of my favorite Canucks. I am fine with not trading him at the deadline if we re-sign him. But if there is no extension to be reached now, take what you can get for him....assuming you can get a good return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid got him good and seems to not be able to get passed his woes. Word is, he’s retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just temper expectation about his durability going forward if he rejoins this team. He'd be great defensive depth help, especially on the draws, but he's going to need to be replaced in that capacity much sooner than later.

aGENT Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sutter coming back would be HUGE. Not only for the comeback but the guy is a major culture carrier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 If we can't afford to keep Motte and they end up trading him, what about this trade? Motte to Carolina for Scott Morrow- 6'2 195lbs RHD drafted 40th overall in 2021 by Carolina Or Ryan Suzuki- 6' 176lb left shot C prospect who is 20. Brother of Nick Suzuki in Montreal, was selected 28th overall in 2019 by them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is, can a long hauler come back in his 30s to play NHL calibre hockey? Tough to really see good odds here but I hope he does make it back in a meaningful way. The PK could really use him.

But he excelled at a bottom 6 center - even in the later years when his production suffered and he wasn't worth the salary. I imagine he could still play after shaking the rust. IF he could play. But sadly, he's an example of Covid leaving real lasting effects. On an athlete. Think of what it's doing to the rest of us lazy out of shape gents.

To be fair, that was a combination of poorly communicated (Benning) and poorly understood (fans/media) "hype". I think Sutter very much was a solid 3rd line, do everything C who could pitch in complimentary offense, occasionally fill in on the second line, play D/PK, shelter kids etc and was a major "culture carrier" (the exact type we likely missed, earlier this year). Sounds pretty "foundational" to me, but it's certainly no star, or even a bonafide top 6 guy. Edited March 15, 2022 by aGENT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Motte, but he's not likely returning a top 4 capable, young RHD, unless we massively fluke out/get a 2nd/3rd pick back that flukes in to one.
