Rumor: Tyler Motte available

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I think he's the perfect fit for Tampa on the fourth line. Would Ottawa take Namestnikov + 3rd or 4th for him?

Sure.

Would also be interested in something around Foote. Maybe something Motte + Holden/Hamonic @ 50% for Namestnikov, Foote and a mid pick.

 

[KevinRedkey]

He is not that good. Another 4th line with stone hands that injury prone. So what he brings speed. So does Gauthier. Rather go after someone more useful like Barbashev and Domi. Motte is overrated.

How is he overrated when people are calling him a 4th liner? Lol

 

[Stickpucker]

Who wants apple sauce boy?

 

[TheNewEra]

Its too bad since i would rather Ottawa resigns him.

That being said because of his age and the role that he plays it would not surprise me for him to test free agency unless someone offers him an overpayment now

 

[Masked]

Is this rumour from a vetted source? It looks like a random Twitter account.

Assen na yo!

 

[Cogburn]

I'd happily give up NYR's 4th round pick this year for him...again.

Our bottom six fell apart without him last year.

 

[bert]

Great 3rd liner on the Sens is a 4th liner on a playoff team.

Future considerations.

BURN!

 

[Bgav]

He went for a 4th last year.

Probably goes for around the same.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

BURN!

You dont get it? Clearly Motte is worth something. But you went out of your way to not only insult the sens but the player too. You got them so good. great BURN!

 

[Oddbob]

Little fishy this comes out now. Just passing along what's posted. He's a great 3rd line pker

Why?

[Just A Bit Outside]

Clamato is great. Should be a good, cheap pickup for someone looking for depth.

 

[BurgoShark]

At the deadline maybe. Not before.

The Senators have struggled with forward injuries all year, and play 10 games in 18 days leading up to the deadline. They need Motte on board for those games.

Depends on the Sens record in those 10 games I guess. If they collect 14+ points and beat the teams they are chasing, I’d prefer to see them battling to make the playoffs rather than collect 4th round picks.

If they bomb in those games, pack your bags Tyler.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I irrationally hate this guy because 64 is an ugly number.

 

[BCNate]

4th or 5th round pick is the likely return.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why?

Because Ottawa is a seller and sellers sell.

 

[Alluckks]

We are 1 year further into a flat cap, teams are in more of a crunch, he got a 4th last year from a team in a locked playoff spot

Maybe a 4th, more likely a 5th

 

[Neiler]

Ill give them a 4th and Blais

I'd do this. Chance to have a preview before signing and if it's not a fit he can go to UFA.

64 = a perfect 10. You're just not seeing it clearly.
