Era completed Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 https://twitter.com/BTW8892/status/1555947587429081089 Guess Motte isn't resigning there after all or does this perhaps impact the Miller sweepstakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 …Love to see Motte back in Van… clearly he’s looking for term, but I don’t think it’s there for him given the landscape of top players eating the flat cap. I bet he’ll end up in Az/Sea/Ana or any other floor based cap team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wingers who are really strong two way players and Lazar isn’t too bad himself. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wingers who are really strong two way players and Lazar isn’t too bad himself. Yah but their past resumes have them priced out. If they are willing to take less than 1.5 then maybe. But having Joshua whom the nucks feel he's about to break out, makes league minimum or close to it, for the next 2 seasons is a risk worth taking. With the new management focusing more quality experienced people and resources into pro scouting, I think Lockwood, Lazar, and Joshua will be a better 4th line next year than what we had this year (and may end up being top 3 best 4th lines in the league). Finding guys that haven't 'popped' yet for minimum salary, is exactly what the best teams do year after year.

Works out better now on 4th line - Joshua 6'3 -- Lazar --Hoglander -- Lockwood-- Fans are going to like Joshua and Lazar, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I wonder if NYR sees him as a Motte replacement or more as a Ty Ronning replacement/upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does literally nothing well enough to justify a spot in an NHL lineup. Fair - but his analysis is basically the same as yours. He has some offensive ability but brings nothing special to the 4th line to warrant a spot as a role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't; this guy is almost as bad as Petan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He's looking to be a depth piece at this point, could work Both sides are familiar with each other, Vesey wants to prove he's more, NYR gets a known quantity as a depth piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
