In an attempt to keep Karlsson? I really think that relationship is already very strained (given the organizations piss poor state and the bizarre exchange between him and Melnyk), but having to go to team functions and see Hoffman's girlfriend around after this crap doesn't seem so desirable for Erik or his wife.If that’s the case, why would Ottawa trade him?
With that said I might reluctantly take a chance on Hoffman for dirt cheap. I tend to agree with Zip. What his girlfriend does certainly reflects on him and not in a good way, but I find it hard to hold him responsible in any significant way for what she does unless he knew and or participated in it as well. I've known several people that I like quite a bit that are or have been in relationships with just plain shitty people. Doesn't make them a shitty person simply by association.
