Motte played the end of last year with the Rangers, but the two parties couldn't come together on an agreements on a new deal. This deal provides the Rangers with a familiar face in the bottom 6 as they look to return to the Eastern Conference Finals and beyond.

Gauthier is a former 1st round pick of the Rangers who has failed to pan out in New York. A fresh start in Ottawa could be huge for him.
