Straight up upgrade imo
Very nice. Like this quite a bit
Love this signing. A potential 4th line of Eyssimont/Glendening/Motte seems great?
JBB is cooking with these value signings.
been lowkey a fan of Motte a while, and was hoping we could sign him. Probably going to be at least a slight upgrade. Seems to play really hard, has the ability to score and will block shots/pk. Think i remember him being really good for Vancouver in the bubble. Sucks to replace a righty with a lefty though, because we already have so few.
Motte>Archibald IMO. Saw him play with the Rangers the last 2 years – lots of grit, which was a quart low last season.
Was fine with archibald but am stoked for motte
Great signing for Tampa! Motte has so much heart and gives everything on the ice. For 800k that’s a steal considering he was looking for a contract North of 2M only a few seasons ago after years with the Canucks. He’s an easy guy to cheer for!
I’m surprised he wasn’t already signed somewhere this late in the off-season but I’m happy he wasn’t!
