Lol had a trade for Motte for a 4th and got roasted for it will Sens Fans saying motte would fetch a 2nd 🤡

NYR got motte for a 4th last year. Same player smaller return since Gauthier is an AHLer.

A general rule of thumb is that a player's trade value disappears for the season when he is placed on waivers and nobody claims him.

Julien Gauthier is one example.



The Rangers paid a 4th round pick for Motte last year.

At best, the Rangers are now paying a 6th round pick for Motte this year.



This is not a fair deal for Ottawa.

The New York Rangers win the trade.

Motte is a great player to have in your dressing room.

Ottawa wins this deal, only because the Rangers should have signed him last summer and they shouldn't have had to give up more to get him back.

More likely a 7th

Great trade news to follow up the "meh" trade of ROR to the Leafs for a full Draft Rd.

Finally getting excited for TDL day.

Idk have to see who the devils add at the deadline. They add Meier and you’re probably right. If not, will be close but I think shesterkin gets them that series win.

I thought they might be able to get more for him, but whatever its an okay trade I guess.

Who cares about those low effort memes anyways.

......huh?

Thats a W in my book

looks like Krav is gone

Look at this way. Qualifying offer to Blais. Fast Forward--- Trading Blais for Tarasenko. Now Rangers have Motte back.

What a disappointing season Ottawa's had

Great deal for New York. Motte made a positive contribution to their playoff run last year, and they get him back for almost nothing. Not a bad deal for Ottawa too, because Motte is a pending UFA and it looks like they’re not going to make the playoffs this year, so anything they can get for him is a bonus. They can keep Gauthier if they like him, but there’s no risk with him because he’s on an expiring contract too, so if he doesn’t fit in, they can let him go by simply not giving him a qualifying offer.
