Exit Tyler Motte

The band, it is no longer together:
Breaking: Red Berenson has told me Tyler Motte will forgo his senior season and sign with the Chicago Blackhawks
— Jason Rubinstein (@jrubinstein4) April 6, 2016
That's particularly bad since Motte was widely regarded as the least likely CCM line member to leave. Berenson did tell The Michigan Insider that he was "betting" on a Compher return, but Compher and Motte have been joined at the hip for years now—this news could impact his status.
Motte's lightning release and mind-meld with Compher led to a point explosion as a junior. Last year he recorded a 32-24-56 line in 38 games. He banged home the OT winner against Notre Dame in the tournament. He'll be acutely missed on next year's team.
Already basically dropped my sadness thoughts in the last thread. But I'll leave this memory again, because sports can be so much more than what happens on the ice. Motte was my daughter's first favorite hockey player.
@tmotte_14 Thanks for flipping my daughter a puck during warm-ups. She'll remember it forever. pic.twitter.com/r3ZqLRB0EX

Thanks for the Awesome season of Awesomeness Tyler. I hate the Blackhawks but actually enjoy watching them play. They're just so damn good and play an exciting brand of hockey. It's a good fit for him.
Great player and wish him well
But good luck!
Well, dang. Best of luck Tyler! You earned this.
