43% of his total points in his two years in Florida came on the PP, where he averaged over 3:30 per game. At even strength(getting about 11 minutes per night) he put up 73 points in 151 games, about a 40 point pace over an 82 game season. In St. Louis he's getting just 1:51 of PP time per game and just over 12 minutes of even strength time. He has 3 even strength points in 8 games, roughly a 30 point pace, but with such a small sample size, just one more even strength point in these 8 games puts him exactly in line with his Florida even strength numbers. At even strength he's producing about as expected. He's a guy who feasts on the powerplay with that one-timer and he's not getting the PP opportunity that he was getting in Florida. Our PP is currently ranked 20th in the league at just 14.8%, so I would imagine we'll start trying new things to get it going, and Hoffman is a proven PP commodity, so I wouldn't be shocked if he gets another opportunity on that top unit. Krug as a lefty at the top of the umbrella makes it easy for him to feed the lefty Hoffman similar to how Yandle has fed him in years past, and Hoffman has shown that he scores in that situation pretty frequently. He has not looked good at all at even strength, but that's not really what he's ever been great at. If he's going to produce and be worth his 4M, it's going to be on the PP. I don't know if he deserves that spot considering his even strength play, but we have to try something different, and he's been one of the better power play scorers in the league over the past couple seasons, so it's probably worth a shot.
