Definitley Tyler motte
Is this true?
Copp is certainly a solid bottom 6 player, but really not worth getting this excited about.
W
Tyler Myers or Motte?
Gonna miss Copp as a Jets fan đ„Č
My goodness, Sportsnet is horrible. How do you mistake Myers and Motte? I thought TSN was bad but SportsNUT never ceases to amaze me with their lack of editing.
We have wayyyyyyyyyyy to many forwards already!
Wait so who did the Rangers give up for both Copp and Motte
Why???
Noooo Copp
Gonna miss the officer, thanks Coppđ„Č
Copp has concussion issues. Shouldn't be playing IMO.
Rangers still canât defend against a house league team.
New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the team has acquired forward Andrew Copp and a sixth-round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft from the Winnipeg Jets. In exchange, the Rangers have traded forward Morgan Barron, two conditional second round picks (conditions listed below), and a fifth-round pick in 2023.
Conditional second round pick 1 (NYR's own second round pick in 2022; becomes a first-round pick in 2022 if the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference Final and Copp plays in at least 50 percent of New York's playoff games)
Conditional second round pick 2 (either STL's own second round pick in 2022 or NYR's own second round pick in 2023)
Good luck to copper, Take care of him NY!!

Should have been able to get a 3rd for Motte Rangers won that trade for sure
Good luck in New York Andrew!
They got motte so cheap because his deal is done after the season
Drury deadass said WPG you won the trouba pionk trade now we need a win
This dude is geeked lmao đ Iâm happy to tho bro LGR ,
This video is wack!
Thank you, Tyler Motte. Heart and soul player who delivered in clutch moments, like the 2020 bubble playoffs.
Solid player, better person. Did great things for the mental health community. That's the type of person you want representing your franchise.
As for Motte, he was true to his word and work ethic in advance of the trade deadline.
âIâve always been a skater, worked hard and added some offence as the years have gone on,â he said. âIâm reliable and love to kill penalties. I try to show up every night to help the team win and sometimes itâs blocking a shot or potting a goal. Itâs the same mindset every night. Itâs business as usual.â
12:15 p.m. Thatâs it
Or so the word is. The Canucks didnât do much in the end. Theyâve still got all their top players. Lots of decisions to be made still.
11:55 a.m. Motte off to Big Apple
Tyler Motte is off to the New York Rangers.
The 2023 draft, by the way, is considered to be much deeper than the 2022 draft.
Sounds like Canucks were trying to sign Motte to an extension but obviously couldnât work anything out.
11:30 a.m. Is it worth it?
Great stat here from the Canadian Pressâ Josh Clipperton:
We can see these moves almost never pay off immediately, I would be interested to see the stats about whether these moves make a difference a season later.
Canucks deal Tyler Motte to Cup-contending New York Rangers for fourth-round 2023 draft pick ——–
Tyler Motte is getting a chance to win it all.
With the speedy, feisty and hard-hitting Vancouver Canucks left-winger moving to the New York Rangers at the National Hockey League trade deadline Monday for a fourth-round 2023 draft pick, itâs sort of a win-win for both franchises.
The Rangers get everything they could want in a fearless unrestricted free agent fourth-liner for a serious Stanley Cup playoff push. The Canucks get another draft pick for what is a better draft in 2023 because they are also in salary-cap management mode.
The Canucks didnât want to offer Motte a sizeable raise on his expiring $US 1.225-million cap hit and US $1.45 million in actual salary.
Among Canucks forwards this season, the 27-year-old Motte was first in blocked shots (51), second in team hits (90), was on the first-pairing penalty kill with J.T. Miller and worked well in a shutdown role. He had 15 points in 49 games (7-8), 22 penalty minutes and is a former Masterton Trophy nominee.
With the clock ticking down to Mondayâs noon (Pacific time) deadline, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin was doing double duty in trying to sign Motte while finding out if there would be a greater trade return.
âIt was a little bit of both I would say,â Allvin said at an afternoon news conference. âFor myself, in talking to a lot of teams and feeling out with what they were thinking about our players, thatâs where we wound up with the fourth-round pick. There were some teams checking in on him, but we felt the draft in 2023 was a little bit better. And when it was clear we couldnât sign him, we had to maximize our return.
âThe (draft pick) value gives us a little more ammunition if we want to do something and gives us time to check this draft (2022) out, if we want to move up, or another player becomes available.â
If the Canucks had come close to a contract, Motte would have had leverage to possibly double his salary, with Sean Kuralyâs contract in Columbus being cited as a possible comparable.
Like Motte, the Blue Jacketsâ bottom-six forward had never hit 10 goals in any NHL season, but now has 11 and plays an appreciated bump-and-grind game. At age 29, he has three years remaining at a US $2.5-million annual cap hit.
The Canucks have younger and cheaper roster options or prospects to promote. In the interim, they could supplant Motte from within, or give a winger like Will Lockwood, 23, a look along with defenceman Jack Rathbone, 22. Especially if the season continues to go south and the club needs to get a roster read on next season. Allvin believes that will likely occur.
I want someone to look at me like this guy looks at Rangers trade deadline deals.
Glad you're excited, lol.
I'm happy about the trade, for sure. I was talking about the possibility of Copp back in Sept. once I realized that trading for Scheifele was a pipe dream. But, you seem really excited to give McKegg the boot from the line up back to Hartford. I'd question that move since Kegger seems to be a good luck charm!! New York has winning percentage of 67.4 with him in the line up, compared to 55% without him!! lol
I find this more annoying than hockey analysis
Sorry if this is some ppls jam, but I hate the vibe towards streamer react videos>professionalism
Aye man why you gotta do grag mckagg like that?? Lmao
I hope the Rangers can make the easter conference finals. so we the jets can get a 1st round pick. Best of luck andrew. we will be watchin u
I LOVE YOUR ENERGY DUDE. LGR!!
CAN'T BELIEVE MOTTE GOT INJURED THOUGHđ€ź
