Around the League XXXIV: Offseason

[Hawkaholic]

Avs have Sens 1st round pick next year so tearing it down or blowing it up just further will add to the embarrassment/disaster when Avs walk up to select 1st overall next draft

Yeah, getting Duchene was a good move IMO, but to have them fall this far since last year, it won't look good if they are giving up a top 3 pick next year.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Bingo. I doubt most teams would have even given up Boedker for Hoffman at this point. Not until there's more clarification regarding everything going on with that story.

I would have drove Boedker to the airport for Hoffman if he played for the Hawks.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He's overpaid, but he's still a decent player.

Let me put it like this

The Sens just traded a player who's offensive talents are similar to Patrick Sharp circa 2008thru 2013 for a player who's inconsistency is comparable to 2014-today Kris Versteeg

Would you have been happy with a trade like that?

I wont be shocked if they put Hoffman with Pavelski and he scores 30-35 goals next year

Their pick will be in the lottery anyways. Barring them signing major FA, their team is terrible. They're picking 5th OV this year as it is.

No, but if I were a Sens fan, I wouldn't be happy with the entire situation. Hoffman's value tanked with this entire story surrounding him and his fiance. Teams weren't going to offer up a comparable player in return. It just wasn't going to happen. They should be happy that they even got a player along the lines of Boedker back. I expected Hoffman to go for like a 3rd and some scrub prospect, not even another NHL player.

I don't know

I like Kyle Turris and think they would have been better off extending Turris longterm then trading for Duchene

I don't think there is a happy Sens fan anywhere right now. Especially not after this awful trade.

Duchene is a much better player than Turris. Much.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

No, but if I were a Sens fan, I wouldn't be happy with the entire situation. Hoffman killed his value with this entire story surrounding him and his fiance.

Hoffman did no such thing nor has it been proven his GF did that

Blame the Ottawa reporter and whoever at court provided information on peace bond for turning this into story. Also Sens had months to move Hoffman before story broke and didn't

No, but they knew it was coming. Hoffman's value was obliterated with this recent story.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Duchene is a much better player than Turris. Much.

Not really to be honest

The gap between them is not much IMO

 

[Teemu]

Dale strikes again. 2019 2nd, 2018 4th, ad 2018 5th headed to the Sharks

Yeah, I misspoke on that. I meant that his value was destroyed, not that he necessarily did it.

 

[clydesdale line]

Hoffman making the rounds now..

 

[ChiHawks10]

Dale strikes again

WTF? Haha.

A 2nd, a 4th, and a 5th is what Dale gave up.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What the hell?

Wake up Stanley

That is fine price to pay for Hoffman

Shark fans should not be happy IMO ,, I wouldn't be if Hawks did this

 

[Hawkaholic]

Yes, really. The gap is decent, just not the lottery pick that the Sens look to be giving up now after their team has fallen apart.

And LOL @ Hoffman being traded again.

 

[ChiHawks10]

What the hell?

Wake up Stanley

Meh.

They dumped Boedker's salary, acquired a prospect and a 5th? Then also acquired a 2nd, 4th, and 5th?

Not a terrible return for Hoffman, and not much was lost on their end. Boedker, a 6th, and a 7th?

 

[clydesdale line]

Going to live from San Jose to Florida now. Yea.. the dude is winning.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dorian is not going to be happy with Wilson

 

[Teemu]

What the hell?

Why not? They dumped a bad contract for three draft picks. Hawks could learn a thing or two.

Real question is why the Sens didn't just deal directly with Florida.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks should have offered up Anisimov , Prospect + picks for Hoffman

Wait forgot Stanley gives everyone NMC/NTC so AA could block that

 

[clydesdale line]

Hahahaha Sens traded him out of the division only for Wilson to pull a dick move and trade him back into the division. Double ouch for the Sens.

Not surprising that you would take the opportunity to bash Stan for not being in on Hoffman.
Every chance you get.

So you want Bowman to pay significant value for a player who has no value...smart move there bud.

I get that you want Hoffman and we can disagree on that but wanting to trade value for a player with no value is just stupid. Why not just offer Hossa, a late pick, and a low prospect with little value for Hoffman? This allows Dorian to get a small return for a situation that he had no control over. Scratch his back now and hope he returns the favor later. This trade is logical, yours is not.
