This is actually really bad. Ottawa probably could’ve gotten more if they had dealt him at the deadline before all the controversy started. Ooooooooooooof.
Is Jumbo going to want to sign now is the question I'd have. Hopefully they talked to him before this dealDoes this mean Jumbo won't be returning?
They can't be in on Tavares, sign Kane, trade for Hoffman and sign Jumbo
Womp womp womp.... I'll have you know he's a SagittariusIf there's a team to straighten out "cancers" it's San Jose
He hasn't hit 50 points since 2014. Hasn't scored more than 20 goals, and only broke 15, twice in 11 years. There's a big drop between those players.Enh, I don't understand being upset about the return.
Frankly I think Ottawa did pretty well given the situation. Ottawa got a serviceable middle 6 winger and low end prospect that still has NHL potential for a guy that had to be traded.
On bad teams, Boedker has produced around a 50 point pace. Hoffman produces around a 60 point pace. I don't see the huge drop off here.
The only real winner here is Hoffman's girlfriend though. Trading for Ottawa for Northern California. Plus, in silicon valley her psychopathy will hardly even be noticable.
I don’t know if that’s the case. Since hockey is such a tight-knit sport, having someone like that with all that extra baggage is detrimental to a team. Some teams probably just said no.This is one of those “...did you call everyone?” Trades. Hard to believe not one of 29 other teams would beat this offer.
Desperation is a stinky cologne.
Quite laughable. I wonder how low is the poor Sens fans mood now.
That's a bit more than a 'slight downgrade'.
Sharks won this one.
This puts the deal in much better context. Hoffman and Boedker have the same term remaining, but Hoff's deal was backloaded and Boedkers's was frontloaded. Dorion had his hands tied by two factors - Hoffman's very public drama, and an owner who wants to save money.
When you're looking at bang for buck (in real dollars), both guys will probably be around $100,000 per point. Considering the restraints Dorion faced, I think he did okay.
More like Karlsson did and for good reasonI think this trade speaks volumes to what happened in this situation. Ottawa clearly wanted Hoffman gone.
