2025 Fantasy Outlook
Motte had four goals, nine points, six PIM, 72 hits and 48 blocks in 55 appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. Those are typical numbers for him, but he might fall short of them this year. The problem is that he didn't secure a contract over the summer and will instead join Florida's training camp on a tryout basis. Motte might be able to earn a spot with the Panthers, but the competition is fierce. Even under ideal circumstances, his fantasy value is limited, and it's looking like he might struggle to get into an NHL lineup on a regular basis this year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a professional tryout agreement with the Panthers in September of 2025.
Suiting up against Bolts
Motte (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Motte is trying to earn a permanent contract after joining the Cats on a PTO for training camp. He'll have three preseason games -- all against the Lightning -- to prove himself to team brass. If he does sign with the club, don't be surprised to see him ink a two-way contract that allows him to shift between levels. Even when up with the big club, Motte could frequently find himself serving as a healthy scratch.

2018
Motte made a one-year pit stop in Tampa Bay last season, once again filling a depth, penalty-killing role. He appeared in 69 regular-season games, managing just a half dozen goals and nine points. Motte has bounced around in recent years. Over the past four seasons, he's played for Vancouver, Ottawa, the Rangers (twice) and Tampa Bay. Now he's off to Detroit after signing a one-year, $800K deal in free agency. It's a reasonable salary given Motte's potential contributions, but it should be noted he's missed no less than 13 regular-season games each of the past three years. There are zero fantasy implications here.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Missing from practice
Motte, who is signed to a professional tryout agreement, was not on the ice for Monday's practice, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
ANALYSIS
Motte's absence could be an indication that he will be released from his PTO, especially considering fellow tryout candidate Noah Gregor was practicing Monday. The 30-year-old Motte was limited to just 55 regular-season games with the Red Wings last year in which he garnered four goals on 66 shots, five assists and 72 hits. Even if Motte were to make the team, it would likely be on a two-way deal.
