Tyler Motte Screwed Himself Out of Millions With Stupid Decision

Yesterday, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced a contract signature.

Tyler Motte reached a one-year deal with the Lightning for $800,000.

It's been reported that Motte lost a lot of money with this deal.

Larry Brooks, a journalist at the New York Post, revealed that Motte's asking price was $2M.

The Rangers decided not to keep him.

He misread the market, and his mistake cost him dearly.

He waited until yesterday to sign, hoping teams would take a chance on him at $2M, but it obviously didn't work, and he inked for the minimum wage. At this point in the offseason, it was too late for many teams constrained by the salary cap.

Do you think Motte deserves $2M?
