I don’t get it. What happened you’re going off in two separate threads

I thought he was hooked slightly by the opponent player. However he is not very good with the puck.
Brick hands, but isn't a liability. Wish he would shoot more and be more aggressive in the opponents end, but he's doing what I'd expect out of a guy playing 10 min a game

Because Dorion can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
If we aren't re-signing Paul then we need a replacement 3rd liner in Joseph coming back, and if we aren't re-signing Motte we need a replacement 4th liner in Gauthier coming back, even if we lose out on a pick or have to downgrade a pick to make it happen.
It's like he's allergic to the waiver wire or something.
i think its cuz Gauthier can probably be resigned for $1 million for a few years and the gap between him and Motte isn't too large, he's younger as well so can get better. Motte is probably looking for a UFA deal that pays him. Even if its $2million, that's more than what I'd like to play.
To me, they're both 4th line guys if we make the playoffs

It's the kind of trade you make when you're not sure if you're a buyer or a seller.

Yeah, maybe that's it. It's just strange considering it was a lateral at best move, but closer to weakening the team.
Not sure I buy that. Gauthier is what he is, and next year's budget don't think came to play here. Doesn't make sense in the short term for a team that was still technically in the thick of things.

Not sure why Dorion didn’t just take a higher pick for Motte if they think this little of him. Even I knew Gauthier was “fast, big, not physical, hands of stone” when they acquired him and I’m just a fan thats watched him play. Legit where are all this orgs pro scouts lol
Still think he’s worth a roster spot just for the one shift a game where he flies down the wing with the puck before firing it into the goalies chest, as it leads to an o-zone faceoff and that alone probably has more value than what the rest of Ottawas bottom 6 provides lol

This part really is weird. Tolvanen has more goals in Seattle than Motte and Gauthier combined over both the Sens and Rangers.

He reminds me of Greening, only not as good defensively and a bit better offensively
Big guy, skates really well, isn't as physical as you wish he was...
Gauthier has shown enough flashes that I wouldn’t mind keeping him around another year if we can afford the extra bodies
Who is "he"? Gauthier? If so I see his strengths as size, speed and some puck handling at speed; however, I have not been impressed with his "shot" so far. I did see a physical check in the last game, but not enough of them to make me say "wow"!
We currently have Kelly and Kastelic signed for next season, so we have an opening for a winger; Gauthier might be it.
