Deal fell through and he went to Nashville instead. Both these things could be true. Also his options may be somewhat limited considering the recent signings we've seen (Heinen, Tierney, even El Nino). A this point he may have to settle for a one year deal, so location may matter less. I haven't heard either way this off-season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see a reason why he or she would oppose to coming here, for him guaranteed top 6 minutes potentially even top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but he wouldn’t be able to brand himself as well as he can down there, which he has been doing a lot more of since moving to the states. I should correct myself. He and his fiancé split up back in 2021 before the wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age you can brand yourself anywhere and Vancouver being a trendy city helps him more than it hurts him honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I imagine PK will stay in the states. Best to keep as visible as possible in the states, before he goes into media fulltime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

States has it better nevertheless. He seems to enjoy his time on ESPN.

Good sports personality. Could see him in media when he’s career is over. He’s been pushing hockey attention in the states during the off-season and playoffs, but I wouldn’t mind him on HNIC down the line. I imagine him and Bieksa going at it as a duo or picking on Elliot would be entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is a huge deterrent, especially with kids needing to change gear every year. And skill/ability wise,. I feel hockey is the most skilled organized sport in the world and the fastest . It’ll never be as intense as it is in Canada. Edited August 3, 2022 by sassbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.naughtypants Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This discussion makes it sound like PK is in front of a buffet with all sorts of on ice choices. I'm thinking he's looking for a serious offer from a decent team at this point. I'm pretty sure Vancouver could call his agent and offer him 1 - 2 million and they would consider it. However... He would probably make more as a TV personality from this point on than he would playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 17 hours ago, Curmudgeon said: This statement implies that Allvin was not a fan of Motte's play, but I believe it was more about not being able to afford a legitimate fourth liner in a tight, tight cap world. Motte would have been looking for 2-3 million AAV on his next contract and no fourth liner is worth that much in the market. He's a really good, honest, hard-working guy, but unless he agrees to league minimum, he won't be coming back to Vancouver. Well I have no idea what he's asking for but it's not only Vcr who have rejected him it's the entire league. He's misread his own value. Motte is bottom 6 ( at best player) who I liked but was never over awed by his skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Would love Subban here at the right price but we've got a bit of a log jam. Maybe if we didn't have Dermott or Poolman.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'd be interested in Subban, we'd probably have to waive another RD though. Could be a good short term option given his experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal:thecup Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Fiancé got out just in time. Never liked the guy. Too much about, look at PK. Talent for sure, but less focus on talent as time closed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
