The hit was a butt right to his face. Kind of like a Kronwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Poor Motte, I wonder how this all affects his offseason. 9 games, solid 4th line and PK minutes and hitting and blocking loads of shots but 0 goals, 0 assists. I know his agent will ask for more than 2M but I can't see the Rangers being able to afford that for a guy who hasnt been scoring. If he was still scoring at his 15 goal pace then sure he deserves more but maybe teams will pass on him and if they realise he's worth 1.5M I hope Canucks management circle back on him. Play him on our 3rd line and give Lockwood the 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Great so everyone pays. The Canucks don’t have Motte anymore, and neither the Rangers. Actually, this happens more often than we’d like to admit with incoming deadline players. The new player comes into a new system they’re not accustomed to and bam, wrong place, wrong time.

Maybe he’ll circle around back to Canucks in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he’s out for the rest of the season and probably the playoffs as well. Guess it’s a shoulder injury. However he is so injury prone that at most would just offer him $1M at this point of his career. He’s 27yr now and only got 16pts a few years ago and 15pts this year. Doubtful he will improve his point totals much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a serious injury, maybe Canucks can offer him a 2-3 year deal in the summer slightly less than what they had previously offered (as we lost his services for out playoff drive and there is risk of injury) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Motte plays a style that like Ferland, will lead to an early decline of effectiveness. That said, if there was an opportunity to resign him this off season for under 1.5, pending medical clearance, I would do it in a heartbeat. We are harder to play against when he's on the ice and healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby James Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'd sign Motte for 1.3 - 1.5 mil per season for 4 - 5 years this offseason. Maybe a little less money then what he was hoping for, but gets some term for a guy hurt fairly often and comes back to an organization he did well in.

Hard to criticize his production when he hasn't been given a chance with talented players. I think he could be a Jannick Hansen type guy with more grit and battle level. Chiasson at least gets PP time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many tip ins and primary assists have you seen Motte do vs Chiasson who's on a league min contract? Not bashing Motte, he's a great player at around 1.5 mil although injury prone and made a difference on our 4th line, but let's not pretend he's a top 6 forward because he's never been given a "chance".

Personaly I feel like he's earned a chance to move up the lineup but he was such an important factor in the 4th line that the team was scared to displace him from that line. When hogz was in a slump or Pearson was injured, if they had a Richardson and Lockwood playing like they are, I'm sure they would have given Motte a look in the top 6. Problem is, that would have crippled our bottom 6 and the team didnt want to do that. I mean, that SE road trip for example... we were decimated with injuries and our best line was our 4th line that road trip. Why would they risk disrupting literally the only good thing we had going at that time by moving Motte up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I hope the Canucks can circle back on Motte and bring him back somehow at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
