Were people actually expecting more for a 4th line undersized UFA?

Yup. I sure was, especially after seeing some of the other prices that scrub players went for.

Well let the crap begin…

The unsatisfied not getting enough.
The happy not lost for nothing.

Who’s had significant injuries and some mental health issues over the last few years. In all, that’s a tough one to move for any significant return.

Wish Motte all the best.

teams want cost controlled term. Its hard to use OTT as a benchmark for any trade as they overpay left right and center on everything.

To me, a 4th for Motte isnt a fantastic return, but it means Allvin is getting something for his UFAs and isn't pushing the team to squeek into the playoffs. Its an indication that he is willing to listen and sell, which is what this team needs to do.

Benning would've kept him and then let him walk for nothing.

exactly

Allvin knows this team isn't good enough to compete, even if they somehow squeeked into the playoffs.

sell sell sell

do what Benning never could and acquire draft picks for UFAs

I thought maybe a 5th. I like Motte, but on a good team he gets 10 minutes a game.

I guess we'll see what this brain trust can do with a 4th. Feels like next to nothing but then, our drafting guru didn't deliver huge results outside of a few of the top picks.
