Solid energy bottom sixer who is an upgrade on McKegg/Brodz. good pickup.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Didn't see this coming, I like it. Wonder if Rooney injury related.

 

[Justin17]

Great deal. Thought he’d get more than a 4th

 

[Fitzy]

This is the upgrade on McKegg everyone was hoping for.

Penalty killing winger with speed and actual NHL level skill.

I wanted Namestnikov but this checks the same box.

 

[Raspewtin]

hits a lot and strong defensively

cool

 

[Taluss]

Solid, nice to see the upgrades on the bottom 6

 

[Richard Banger]

hits a lot and strong defensively

cool

And for a 4th Lmao. Drury refusing to pay any high prices for bottom 6 players. I love it

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Great pickup. Going to be a fan favorite, has the highest motor on our team now

 

[Atax]

Probably insurance for Rooney? Maybe there is concern over the injury.

 

[MS]

Great trade for you guys. We thought we’d get more for him.

You’ll hear him called a ‘4th liner’ but he’s a 15 minute/game massive motor 3rd liner who has scored 16/17 goals/82 GP since the start of the bubble. And an elite PK guy.

Issue is injuries and that may be what impacted his value. But if healthy this is one of the best-value moves of the deadline.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If this pushes Hunt out I hate it. If it pushes Reaves out I like it.

 

[Lays]

Steal of the deadline. Motte is in the mold of the players Tampa likes. Will fit very well with Goodrow. I’m surprised he couldn’t fetch a 2nd

 

[NYR Viper]

He plays a similar game to Cal Cluterbuck. I think he will fit in really well here

Got a motor! Not sure which trade I like better this or Vatrano move? Probably the latter by a bit. Both B+ moves or better

 

[mrhockey193195]

Big fan of the trade.

Random question, but were Copp and Motte linemates in college at Michigan?

 

[Peltz]

How are his faceoff stats?

 

[canuckking1]

Motte is a steal for you guys. One of the best Pkers in the league and has speed/scoring ability.

 

[MS]

How are his faceoff stats?

He's 100% a winger.

 

[GAGLine]

How are his faceoff stats?

50%, but he has only taken 12 faceoffs all year, so don't expect that from him.

Copp is 54% though on 578 faceoffs.

Well that's great news on Copp. We need someone like that really badly.

The team feels much more fleshed out now.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Really like adding another high-energy bottom-6 winger that can play fast and forecheck well for only a 4th. Gallant will love him too

 

[EdJovanovski]

Canucks fans love this guy. My drunk uncles favorite player, as well as Connor Bedards favorite player.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Motte - brodzinski - Hunt

Could be a problem for other teams
