On a scale where Tanner Glass is a 1 and Jannik Hansen is a 100, Tyler Motte is about a 3.
We saw 20 goal seasons from Hansen?You see 20 goal/40 point seasons from Motte? Thought you hated hyperbole?
Hansen was also injured a lot.
He had a season of 16-23-39 and others that projected out at 17-30-47 (lockout year) and 27-23-50. Outside of the Tortorella year, he averaged 40 points/82 GP from 2011-2017.
Tyler Motte has averaged 15 points/82 games for his career.
You do realize YOU wrote the hyperbolic sentence I did not say, and and ranted against THAT. There's a term given to that style of argument...Sorry meant 22 goals and 39 points, plus 47 point pace in the lockout shortened season. You crack me up, hate hyperbole, then use it yourself.
Jannik Hansen put up 199 points in 458 games from age 24-30 on the Canucks. That's a 36 point average. Unbelievable we're seeing productive members of the greatest era in team history compared to guys like Motte.
Nobody forgets that Hansen didn't have the greatest finish, if he did, he'd have been a 1st liner. I don't hear any rumblings from the dressing room that Motte is a practice beast like we used to with Jannik. Teammates always remarked that he was very skilled in practice but couldn't finish in the games.
Motte has a good motor in short stretches, Hansen had one of the highest running motors in recent memory for a Canucks player IMO.

Motte is one of those guys who looks good out there. Skates hard, plays tough, gives 100% effort... BUT, he doesn't put up much offense, is too small to hit/hurt guys or even keep them honest AND he's a (-) player YTD.... so while he does pass the eye -test, he doesnt seem to actually deliver.
Hansen was at 107gms, 15g, 36 pts thru his 23 yr old season.
Kinda disingenuous to compare Hansen prime average scoring rate to Motte's 23 and under seasons.
Motte is very comparable to the type of player Hansen was at the same age. Me stating the comparison wasn't point based.
Hansen continued to get better and became a better scorer later in his career when no one expected it. Then his career yr... Thank you Daniel and Henrik.
Motte still has some development and experience to bank ahead of him...

That's how I picture you when read this paragraph.
We saw 20 goal seasons from Hansen?
Huh? Hansen at 22 put up 21 points in 55 games or 31 point pace in 42% dzone starts and broke even on shot attempts. 50% GFSounds exactly like early Hansen.
You could have pulled that from a Jannik Hansen thread in his 23 or 24 yr old season.
Don't think you know what hyperbollic means.I think the comparison is asinine and inferring they're similar is hyperbolic.
Motte was a sub 0.5ppg AHLer, Jannik Hansen was 0.86ppg in that league at 21.
One guy had to break into a quality team and find a role, Motte is breaking into one of the worst teams in the NHL on the 4th line, where he puts up poor results.
Not every player can play with Henrik and Daniel either, remember when they tried to put Jake there?
I just don't see what you see with Motte to suggest he could be a Hansen-like player other than they're both right handed and fast.
Jannik Hansen was an even strength beast from 2010 onwards for this team, nothing I've seen from Motte to this point suggests anything close.
Did you tune out in 2015-16?
exaggerating in the extreme.....Don't think you know what hyperbollic means.
Jim Benning is like Sam Pollock.exaggerating in the extreme.....
Wow. You must value Hansen as highly as Biega and GaunceOn a scale where Tanner Glass is a 1 and Jannik Hansen is a 100, Tyler Motte is about a 3.

NHL Jobs >no nhl jobMotte is not NHL caliber but he skates really hard and seems to do a lot. Yes there are stretches where he legitimately plays well but he can’t and will never be able to keep it up. Honestly any NHL/AHL tweeter will have good stretches if you play them long enough. It’s not a consistency issue it’s a talent issue. The guy just doesn’t have it.
If you called up Zack MacEwen and played him for all 82 games he would have stretches where he gets the bounces/opportunities and produces good results. Doesn’t make him an NHLer.
Oh man that hurtsIf your level of understanding is so poor that you don't understand my comments on Biega and Gaunce and why I was right, you really aren't even worth responding to.
Oh man that hurts
He’s a 4th liner you got it. Like Alex Biega in that he brings energy but not a player you should play 82 games a season.Motte is essentially Alex Biega at forward. Fast aggressive on pucks limited in talent.
Teams need role players. If he keeps getting better
he can be a important part on a good team.
Not sure why people would call a guy who is currently playing well on a 4th line a non NHLer or throw dirt on him?
He's an energy 4th liner. Points really shouldn't be used to evaluate him (he's not going to put up many in any event)If Motte can put up 25 pts and play gritty, hard and fast then id give him a 4th line winger spot sure.
Well they are both absolute trash. Perhaps Biega as he could make an outlet pass.If you understood, it probably would.
Who was a better player who contributed more to our chances of winning games last year, Alex Biega or Erik Gudbranson?
