Tyler Motte has 9 points on the season, or, to look at it another way, 125 fewer points than Nikita Kucherov. He’s also tracking to have his lowest offensive output in a full season since his sophomore year of 2017-18. So, it’s another free agent blunder by Julien BriseBois, right?
Wrong.
In fact, while saying it’s his best free agent signing might be a bit of a stretch, saying it’s one of his better ones wouldn’t be. Tyler Motte has done exactly what he was brought in to do this summer – become a vast blackhole of offense.
