Motte is a gamer. With less than a 1/4 of Brocks skill. Not to mention Boeser wins a lot of puck battles for such a so called “soft player” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything if the window starts after that, the 7 year window would be perfect timing by then The Window is open now; until we are out, the window is open.

Better hope he has the longetivity of Patrick Roy theni Sadly this is the the problem I see with the team. You have Demko, Pettersson, and Hughes but because of all the moves the previous Management made, it would take a few years to just "clean up" the mess that was made to have a good roster to support the young core. And this doesn't happen overnight (I mean just ask Edmonton lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious do you think the new management team wouldn't want more then a 4th rounder??? Of course they would of like a 2nd round pick or young prospect..' Face reality this is his value to the rest of the NHL teams... We all use to complain management needed to get something for players going into UFA in the summer? So we got a 4th round pick that's good.. No way can we continue to sigh 4ht line layers for over 2 million?? Motte and his agent think he is worth over 2 million? Motte and agent might be surprised come this summer and they don't get the big contract.. Glad we got something for Motte 27 UFA this July..

What makes you think we will sign him in the off-season? maybe his value around the league isn't as high as we thought, considering the return. We'll see how his playoffs go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 3 hours ago, T.Demko said: Absolutely disgusting. Would have rather kept Motte. Only way this makes sense is if Motte indicated he is absolutely leaving this organization. Then it makes you wonder what that spells out for the other upcoming players like Miller. His value to the other 30 teams was a 4th rounder? Can't sign 4th line players for over 1.5 million.. Motte and his agent must be thinking they will get a deal like Dickinson? Glad we got something for a UFA that will walk for nothing... Great job new management team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these are problems that will take awhile to fix Winners win because they develop a winning attitude and work with it to achieve their goals. Constantly whining about how hard it is to win, to advance, to build a better team, etc., does not help achieve goals. Look at those stupid predictions like we were out of the playoffs 10 games into the season. Why play the game at all if you constantly concentrate on what you can't do or who you don't have? Even once we are out of the playoffs, if that happens, we still need to stay positive and try to win every game. These Negative Nellies that call themselves Realists obviously have no idea how to develop winners. Check out the Ukrainians; they are winners even though the Russians are way stronger and blowing everybody up. They stay strong and build hope and do whatever they can to keep that hope growing. You go every face-off, every shift, every battle, every period, game, everything, with the mind-set that you are going to succeed. That is how you do it.

Motte wants to get paid the big bucks. We shouldn’t be the team to do it. Great trade. No. Not for a team with like 10 GM’s. Overreaction from fans a bit. Yes.

Darius Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) The org needs to start developing players at the AHL to cycle into these 4th line roles for cheap. Developing guys that can pk, play with energy, and score once in a blue moon like Motte should be the bread and butter of a good org. Once they establish themselves after a few years flip them.. rinse and repeat. Edited March 21, 2022 by Darius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Love Motte, but love the Canucks more, so knowing this is a cap decision to take advantage of a top 4 D or top 6 forward in the summer, then we should be all in. Can't afford to over pay the Beagles, Roussels and Mottes of the world for 4th line duties anymore if we want to build a pretender to contender IMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never hit 20 points in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
