LindG1000 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Has he seen the cap? What payday does he think is out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If the Rangers want to improve RW at all they can't afford him for anything over what he made last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 He chased the bag last season. And I don’t blame him. But he didn’t get it. And isn’t going to this year either, even with this dogshit crop of FA’s. And he ended up back here anyway. He fits here. He should stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Last year I totally get testing free agency. This year? Take the cheap 2 year vesey deal tyler. We want you on that, and it's going to be good for you too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 See you at the deadline again, Mr. Motte. There should be a cap adjustment for seasonal employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not that I really care if he’s back or not but if he does sign with another team and the Rangers again trade for him, would that be the first time someone would be traded for, by the same team, in the history of the nhl?

BrooksBurner Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 He looks like he tries hard because he skates fast and chases pucks, but he’s always chasing the puck because he never has the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they need to be utilized properly. Hes a useful player of quality. And he knows his role. Just needs a coach who does and will use him accordingly.

RangersIn7 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 4 minutes ago, Pete said: But he stinks I mean… I guess as much as any 4th line guy does. That’s kinda the norm. But I’m in no way uncomfortable if he’s on my 4th line, playing 12-13 minutes, and killing some penalties. Especially if he’s playing within a system. And the ballpark his cap hit lands in doesn’t bother me. What exactly are you looking for out of a 4th line winger, who makes what he makes in a flat cap? Honestly? Hes shown he can fit and play and contribute here. And then, as mentioned, there’s his effort. He’s fine. If they gave him multiple years at little money, without much trade protection, it would actually be a good move. Give him 2-3 years guaranteed paydays. That’s the value. You can pay him less. And if not, easy to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like him at $900K or so Not as much at $1.2 But if you gave him 3 years of paydays, you could get him at probably just around $1 million. I’d take that.

The cap starts going up significantly next year so it’s probably the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it more likely he’d sign cheap for 1 year, with a multiyear deal carrying a sizable increase in AAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I like Motte, but I also believe 4th liners are a dime a dozen. If Motte wants to test the waters, that's cool. I actually expect him to. We may even do better at the trade deadline anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think he put up a career high in points this past season, so there's that. lol Well, the Rangers do have a fourth round pick in the 2024 draft. They can just use that to get him at the deadline again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
