Player Discussion Tyler Motte

[bl02]

Is that 8 points in his last 13 games?
For a 4th liner not bad.

Vesey contract + 100-200k. Fits the team so well and seems to love being a Ranger.

Reminds me of Dom Moore and that’s highest compliment I can give a 4th liner

 

[17futurecap]

Not even the points, which are great, but he’s getting to play with much better 4th liners this year.

Happy to have him, would be nice to get him signed on the cheap for 1-2 years.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

pls resign him

It can be done at 3 X $1.5 so long as the below happens

1) Othmann makes the team
2) Goodrow traded
3) zac jones 6D
4) Will Cuylle makes team
5) K’Andre and laff have reasonable deals

I hope we get to see 2022-23 preseason Motter in the playoffs. He is definitely warming up.

The difference between a 1.5 mil AAV player and another player, presumably around 1 mil AAV, is 5 different prerequisites, one of which is a two parter?

Y'all can Motte believe it.

Hot take from the GDT yesterday but I think this guy's game is very similar to, yet slightly better than, Carl Hagelin.

The engine and speed is very similar. Motte is physical where Hagelin wasn't. Hagelin played on the second line for us in a much less competitive league. Motte has near 0.5ppg this year on the 4th line. Had motte been slotted in to the second line instead of Hagelin, back in the 2010s, he would've much more. What I remember about Hagelin, not much scoring touch or nose for the net, where Motte beats him out. Both played PK. Somehow Hagelin found a ton of breakways if i recall correctly.

@Machinehead pointed out that Hagelin put up some good number in NY but I think given the same opportunity in the same era/lineup/etc, Motte would outpace

Actually I do see the similarity a lot.

It's just that you said Motte is Hagelin with a scoring touch and I was like "Motte has a a scoring touch?" /We'reTheMillers.gif

I do think ice time is a valid argument but you also have to into account that Hagelin was putting up 14-17 goals in a league where scoring 40 was headline news. If Pastrnak finishes hot, we're gonna have two 60 goal scorers. It's the 80's again.

I also think we over-remember how many breakaways guys get. If you get 8 clean breakaways in a season, that's a ton, and like 70% of them are saves. People used to say the same thing about Grabner but I can't remember him having a breakaway with the Rangers off the top of my head.

I do think they're similar and Hagelin got more opportunities in a different league. I don't think Motte is better at offense or has more skill.

Adding Motte and stapling vesey to line 4 has been such a blessing for this team. I was luke warm on him last year but just the way the 4th line has been able to maintain puck possession has been great.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

4th line is a difference maker for this team, if the top 9 takes care of their business

 

[Leonardo87]

Motte and Vesey have made the 4th line miles better. They’d be a 3rd line on a lot of other teams.

3 guys who all know their role and they all PK, big fan of the player and the trio as a whole, huge difference from years past and I think it will pay dividends

Pretty big upgrade from last year. Off the top of my head who did we have? Reaves (who coudln't keep up), Rooney who unfortunately couldn't handle a puck? Also Motte and Goodrow were hurt?
Reaves/Rooney with a splash of Nemeth almost cost us the series vs Pitt.

Yea there’s no more plodding 5 minute a night freeloaders, they can all contribute in multiple ways and give top guys a rest
