RichieNextel305 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Gallant said Kakko was nothing serious and he missed over 10 weeks. If he’s saying quite a while, I’d assume he’s likely done for the season unless we make a major run. And even then… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Quote Tyler Motte, who served as a very useful fourth-liner after he was picked up at the deadline, isn’t likely to return this season after his significant injury suffered two weeks ago. https://theathletic.com/3267967/2022/04/23/rangers-forward-depth-could-be-a-problem-this-postseason/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leetchy2 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Unfortunately that leaves no more margin for injuries, otherwise Gauthier or McKegg will be playing in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keirik Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 He was a luxury. Thankfully we gave up very little for him. I’d look to retain him but only if he took Hunt level contract which he won’t. Sorry kid. Business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll make due without him, but these depth/glue guys are hard not to fall in love with sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wonder if this is just gamesmanship more than it is honesty. Motte fundamentally changes a good deal of our lineup and unlocks variance in the bottom 6 that forces Pitt to plan differently and strategize differently because Motte's fast and physical in a way that nobody else in the bottom 6 is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible. But he said it when asked in a press conference. So I’m hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it in mid-December. He went on a road trip with them in March. Not sure he’s even skating yet. He’d probably need 3-4 weeks of skating before he’d be ready.

Yeah, Gallant has proven to be full of inaccurate information almost the entire season when it comes to injuries, I would be surprised if all of the sudden Motte is now a possible option for late first/early second round.

I don't think it's that, at all. I think it's all very intentional. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only not really impressed with Motte? He's very Hunt like. He tries. But he kinda stinks and isn't as physical as people say. Unless there's another gear in there that he brings out in the playoffs, I really don't understand the fawning some people do over this guy.

Same coach who refuses to even say who his starting goalie is until like an hour before puck drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buuut, I guess I'd rather him in the lineup over Hunt and Reaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
