He can't be a guy who's regularly in the lineup, can he be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Probably banking on the fact that guys like Coleman and Goodrow cashed in on being overvalued role players on a well run machine by an actual coach. He'll probably have a decent season and get a 4 year deal at 2- 3 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good contract for the team. I didn't think that needed to be said, but I guess only you would require additional explanation for something so obvious.

Hopefully next season when the cap goes up he can finally get the contract he’s been hunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say I fully understand how the nhl cap works and their contracts. Thought a team can be over the cap until the start of the season? So why not sign Motte and then figure a way to get rid of a $775,000 contract or whatever they would be over by? I probably shouldn’t have singled out Pitlick. Could really be anyone except Bonino, Wheeler or Quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motte priced himself out, but not sure about Pitlick... Motte was fine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 According to capfriendly Pitlick, Belzile, Jones and Mackey all are $812,500 or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones who are going to play in the NHL are possibly Pitlick and Jones. They're not going to move Jones to keep Motte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he stinks and you responded to me saying he got signed to a pretty good contract. That implies you think he got paid well, not the other way around. So your initial retort is what makes zero sense, but that’s the standard for most of your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the point of signing him now? They're already at 46 contracts, why burn one just to add a guy like him? Once his contract demands came out, it was easy to see why they walked away, once Bonino and Pitlick signed, his fate in NY was sealed.

The issue isn't my post, it's your reading comprehension. I said a good GM of a good team signed him to a good deal... It can be implied since I was talking about the GM and the team, that the team got him on a good deal. If my posts are beyond your comprehension, then maybe you should stop answering them? Or you could just admit that you don't even read half of the post and you're just looking for a fight? You misread the post, and you made a poor assumption. You don't have to be an ass about it.

siddious Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 He’s a good player and I can’t fault him for wanting to bank in as much cash as possible. but he either doesn’t really care to be here or is a straight up fool asking for $2mil, if I read that correctly. 2nd time he’s done this now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wrote it as a retort to mine, yet apparently had nothing to do with what I said in my post at all. Draw the line of logic from “Motte stinks” to “yet Tampa gave nothing for him”. I’ll wait.

Scott Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 If he indeed was looking for 2M it shows his ability to read the room (league) is piss poor. Gotta hand him that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he stinks, then why would a good team with a good GM want him? Hint: It's because he doesn't stink.
