Confirmed Trade: [NYR/VAN] Tyler Motte for 2023 4th round pick

[Metalwood]

Underwhelming

 

[Aqualung]

Wow…is Lehkonen really THAT much better than Motte (even with term)?

Yes. Motte has nearly half the points. Motte is really just a utility player for PK and 4th line assignments, albeit he plays that role really well.

 

[Jumptheshark]

How is it only a 4th

Because that is his value vancouver worked the media well to try to raise his value

 

[Killer Orcas]

Rangers got a good one and great deal I might add. Congratulations to Rangers.

 

[Twine Tickler]

No I was definitely told the price was top 40 pick...

surely this was a mistake

 

[Connor McConnor]

Gotta think the Appleton trade changed the market

 

[CupsOverCash]

Canucks saying here rangers go get a cup lol

 

[turkulad]

What an utter disappointment..

 

[Blueangel1891]

Terrible return

Motte is the perfect 4th liner

 

[Aqualung]

I remember when nucks fans said Deslauriers was worth less than Motte.

Bahahahaha.

Motte + Schenn for Liljegren eh.

Nice grab Rangers. Wasn't worth anywhere near the typical Nucks overvaluations but he's solid in a depth role.

The pot calling the kettle black. Lot's of old Dermott trade proposals that had his value much higher than a third round pick by "leaf fans".

 

[Canadian Canuck]

That’s it?

Anyone give me a report on Motte. Seems like the perfect 4th liner

He is a perfect 4th liner.

One of the highest motors I've seen, always skating, always forechecking hard, can PK and block shots. Has underrated offensive sense (not a point producer but for a 4th liner will chip in occasionally). Not big though and won't be super bruising.

He probably wanted over $2m which is why we traded him. Good for the Rangers and a necessary move (albeit underwhelming) for the Canucks

Wait a moment folks—is it possible that Canucks fans overvalued their own player?

 

[Riggins]

Excited to watch Canucks fans slowly turn on their new management group.

 

[M2Beezy]

Motte overrated by Canucks fans, has hands of stone, gets injured a lot, wanted a big extension because he skates fast and hits sometimes but really gets a lot of nothing done. A 4th is meh, why not for the Rangers I guess but a good pick for the Canucks

 

[clmetsfan]

Exactly what I said he was worth last month. Good trade for both sides. Anyone thinking that a PK specialist who's a pending UFA and doesn't take faceoffs was going to get a 2nd rounder or Kravtsov (lolz) needed a reality check.

Do you think Motte or Hamonic is more valuable?

 

[StickShift]

Yes. Motte has nearly half the points. Motte is really just a utility player for PK and 4th line assignments, albeit he plays that role really well.

The Canucks PK is ranked last in the league by several percentage points.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Do you think Motte or Hamonic is more valuable?

Motte by a massive margins. Really disappointed we only got a 4th

 

[Aqualung]

The Canucks PK is ranked last in the league by several percentage points.

Yes your point?

 

[Cquant]

Glad we got something for an expiring UFA, but feel like Motte was worth more than a 4th rounder. I guess the big teams had no more picks left to give.

 

[AcerComputer]

Vancouver fans back to reality

 

[StickShift]

Yes your point?

Motte is hardly an impact PK player.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

We should have just re-signed him what a waste.

We weren’t getting a high draft pick for Motte. I knew that and the majority of people in this boards knew that.

He wasn’t resigning with the team anyways this off season so I’m good with it.
