He would have never dumped his beloved Motte for a freaking 4th round pick like he is worthless. Nope but he would let him walk out at free agency for nothing and say he "ran out of time" to re-sign him. Lets remember that Benning let the following players go without getting a return: - Markstrom (Vezina caliber goaltender) - Toffoli (top 6 sniper that teams have to pay 2 1st round caliber assets to get) - Tanev (Arguably the best shutdown defenseman in the league) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Just now, JayDangles said: It's not that we dumped Motte for a 4th... It's that this is culmination of months of "hard work" from our new management team. A lot of preaching and prepping for this!? If the price to keep Motte was gonna be expensive (and it likely was), they did the responsible thing of moving him out. For every Motte, you can also find Lammikos, Highmores, etc. willing to do the dirty work. Remember Ronalds Kenins and how gritty he was? Are we missing him in 2022? Bet you haven't thought about that name in years. It'll be the same thing with Motte. Again, good player, but not worth crying over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yikes terrible return, would have been nice to get another late round pick but whatever. Motte was awesome going to miss him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am playing pick up hockey this aft, u probably shouldn;t upset me or we be fighting Well, at least I didn’t waste my whole morning as I was playing Elden Ring while keeping track of Legendary GM Rutherford doing pretty much nothing.

DS4quality Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) If you're gonna trade Motte for a 4th, at least do it with someone below us in the standings. Rangers have lots of capital. Edited March 21, 2022 by DS4quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means no more Motto line... But we now have the BLaH (Brad, Lamikko, Highmore) line.... raather keep motte than brad, atleast u could count on motte, brad could be a huge bust or he may need a cane soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast, the Canucks are doing better than our expansion cousin; but there crop of young players and there lower standing, might net them another good pick. Ofcourse, the cap and there mediocrity will cause most of those players to re-gress. I bet yoy any money our "expansion brother" wins a cup before us.. They are doing the right thing and rebuilding, we are forever stuck in this mediocre retool cycle that isn't going to be broken anytime soon. We will get more playoff appearances than BUF, but BUF will win the cup. We wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it's been mentioned, the bulk of work will be done in the off season. No need to make knee jerk trades if you know you can get decent value in the off season. I'm genuinely baffled that people are so upset, how tf was this sequence of events not the most obvious and ideal outcome? The only move that was reasonable to expect was the Motte trade. The Hamonic/Dermott deals are just icing on the cake Edited March 21, 2022 by eeeeergh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) I like getting a return on assets that we are about to lose. While its not a third and let’s be real, Motte was never going to get a 2nd round pick. It’s better than losing him for nothing and the past management would’ve let him walk. So I’m happy with this, I hope the rest of CDC is nice to New GM Alvin. No yelling please… Edited March 21, 2022 by EP Phone Home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of time to work on draft day moves, and other off-season changes. Its funny to see all the hair on fire comments, Jesus there's no rush here kids.
