Per Mollie Walker, Tyler Motte is hopeful to return to the New York Rangers. In his exit interview with Chris Drury, notable that Gerard Gallant did not take part in these (he didn’t last year, for what it’s worth), Motte, acquired for Julien Gauthier and a 7th round pick at the trade deadline, put up 5 goals and 10 points in 24 regular season games with the Rangers before being held scoreless in the playoffs.
This isn’t the first time Motte has wanted to return to New York after being acquired at the trade deadline.
