Rangers acquire Motte from Sens
New York trades Gauthier, 7th-round pick to Ottawa
OTTAWA, Ontario — Right winger Julien Gauthier was traded to the Ottawa Senators by the New York Rangers for left winger Tyler Motte on Sunday.
Ottawa also gets a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft. Should the Rangers advance past the first round of this ostseason, that pick will improve to the lower of the Rangers’ or Winnipeg Jets’ 2023 sixth-round selection.
Gauthier, 25, has six goals and three assists over 40 games this season.
Motte, 27, has three goals and six assists with a plus-1 rating over 38 games.
Motte returns for his second stint with the Rangers after playing nine regular-season and 15 playoff games with them last year.
