I’m thinking someone like Mike Hoffman, assuming we have no injuries on defense and Florida is out of the playoff race.
I honestly think Florida is going to be competing for the 3/4 spot in the Atlantic, they were better than Detroit, Ottawa and Buffalo by a good margin last year before they addressed their flaws this summer.
Barring injuries, they're going to be a fringe playoff team playing meaningful games in March at the least. Bob/Montembeault is a big upgrade on their goaltending from last season - they improve on the 273 GA (27th), 3.16 GAA (27th) and 0.892 SV% (30th) for that reason alone, without needing Bob to post Vezina numbers as league average would be a massive improvement. Adding Stralman, Connelly and coach Q should also make favorable impacts for them.
For those reasons, I don't expect Hoffman to be dealt. I expect a self rental unless they're 10+ points out of the race at the deadline. Tippett may make extending Hoffman unnecessary if he shows well in his rookie season, but there's little chance Tippett usurps Hoffman's place on the team.
