By The Canadian Press on February 19, 2023.
OTTAWA – Right-winger Julien Gauthier has been traded to the Ottawa Senators by the New York Rangers for left-winger Tyler Motte. Ottawa also gets a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2023 NHL draft in the deal. Should the Rangers advance past the first round of this upcoming post-season, that pick will improve to the lower of the Rangers’ or Winnipeg Jets’ 2023 sixth-round selection. Gauthier has six goals and three assists with a minus-5 rating over 40 games this season. Motte has three goals and six assists with a plus-1 rating over 38 games this season. The 27-year-old Motte returns for his second stint with the Rangers after playing nine regular season and 15 playoff games with the club last season.
