Who is going to sign Tyler motte?

Gonna say Rangers bring him back 1 year 800k and then the 4 lines are

Kreider-Zibanajad-Kravstov
Panarin-Trocheck-Gauthier
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko
Motte-Goodrow-Blais

Extras: Carpenter, Reaves

I thought motte was asking for 2 mill x 3

Considering hes not signed I dont think anyone wants to give him that

Its basically take what you can get now before teams dont got room

I see him signing a 1 year deal and then trying again next year

Interesting thing I found with Rodrigues - he seemed to have his best analytical seasons when playing the most minutes. 18-19 and 21-22 were by far his highest avg TOI seasons and both of them are his best analytical seasons. I wonder if hes just the kind of player who can play at a high level but only when put in larger roles with better linemates. If thats the case then it fits well with COL since he can take the reigns at 2C and be insulated with Lehkonen and Rantanen as strong wingers

Can you do Compher for the same time period?

I should add that for Compher hes an above average shooter so while he doesnt have a strong impact on xG offensively he can still finish plays at an above average rate so he can still produce some offense. Rodrigues is the opposite where he has a strong impact on xG offensively but he is a below average shooter so he tends to not finish those chances as often

(Looking at the light blue dotted lines)

Why wouldn't Ottawa add him? Both as a strong bottom 6 guy but also as "insurance" with Batherson/Formenton.

They have the cap space to do it

They got Watson, Gambrall, and Kelly on top of a bunch of guys no need for him really

Austin Watson>Brendan Gallagher

What if either or both Batherson or Formenton are suspended?

Formenton don’t care. Batherson won’t be suspended

The only way in which Austin Watson > Brendan Gallagher is in number of charges of domestic assault.

Having arguments with Leafs fans on Twitter. Trying to tell me that Bunting and Kerfoot are better than players in Ottawas top 6. Dumbest fans I’ve ever seen .

Not agreeing or disagreeing but got to give a shoutout to my boy Bunting

As beating out Raymond in Calder voting is an instant W

And man DET fans were pissed

As for the whole argument its silly. Bunting is a guy who is he was in Ottawa's top 6 would be no diff then what they got now. As Bunting-Stutzle-Giroux would probs lead the league in penalties drawn. Kerfoot though yeah it would be noticeable for all the wrong reasons

I just don’t like ppl ignoring the fact that Batherson missed 36 games and just saying oh he’s better than Batherson because he had more pts. Like no I wouldn’t take Kerfoot or Bunting over Batherson . I don’t think anyone in the nhl would . Batherson would’ve had 100pts if he played with Matthews and Marner and no I’m not joking

Big factor agreed.

And yeah Marner would get Batherson to 100points as thats just what he does these days
