So much for Tyler Motte being too expensive for the NY Rangers. Barely an hour after the Rangers were rumored to be out on Motte due to cost, the Motte Girl Summer Part 2 has been confirmed, with the Rangers sending Julien Gauthier to Ottawa in exchange for the winger.
This is Motte’s second go round with the Rangers, and hopefully his start with the Blueshirts goes better than last year’s, where he suffered a shoulder injury in his first week with the team.
Motte shores up the RW spot on the fourth line, with a center still a need.
