Salary Cap: Dadonov and Hoffman's future in Florida?

[Dread Clawz]

Ya he did play bottom 6 C/W in AHL this past year as well so he's very versatile, maybe just maybe.
We found Marchessault right.

One thing the Panthers are decent at is finding lower level talents(at the time)from other organizations.

Vatrano for a 3rd was decent. We replaced that 3rd with Petrovich to EDM
Acciari is a solid signing.

Daddy did nothing in the pretend playoffs. Hoff put in a very noticeable effort and was productive. When games count, daddy disappears.

Agree with this. I definitely noticed Hoff for those few games.

Acciari was a great signing. I don't ever anticipate him having a season like this again, but we was probably our MVP in terms of value added...

Questions for Panthers fans:

How many more years does Dadonov have left in his career?
How many points do you think he's going to get in the next couple years?
What kind of role will he have moving forward with the team?

If you think he doesn't sign, do your best guess for wherever he ends up.

Where he end up easy. NYR or WSH if Ovi left Washington.

What he has left i would say belongs to the system he must play 45 Points.
What kind of Role he have classical 2Way Winger with focus one PP, but i dont see him on long term on the TopLine.
One of them two get the Offer till the young once reach a solid 1st Line Unit Point, that is where Both incoming are aiming.

He'll likely get a 3-4 year deal outside FLA, I'd bet on a decline mid/late in year 3.
If playing with a good play-making C/W, 50-60pts seems fair for a couple years then 40-50pt after that.
If re-signed, he'd be a bit of a stopgap for guys like Tippett and/or Denisenko until they're consistent top 6 players.

He may play top line again next year if re-signing in FLA but my gut tells me, he won't age well for some reason.
If he signs elsewhere, I'd bet a team that has a fair bit of Russians on it.

I think he’s at most good for 50-60 for one more season, and that’s only with an elite center. After that he’ll be a younger looking Connolly.

If he is buddies with Nikita Gusev from their stint in St Petersburg, maybe the Devils would be a good destination? They have the cap space both short and long term. He could also fit their style of play and bump Bratt down the depth chart.

 

[Dread Clawz]

He'll re-sign in Florida for 3-4 years. We aren't going to give Hoff the money he wants, we know that. But we still need some scoring for.next season. I could see him having one more year of 70 points, but most likely 50-60 points next couple of seasons, then declining after that. Once he starts to lose his legs, it wont be pretty.

I wonder if Hoffman would re-sign here for a little less money. It might mean something to him to be able to play in peace without being in the media fishbowl that many other markets are. Mention Hoff on other fan pages as a possible FA signing and it doesn’t take long for the Ottawa drama to be brought up. Usually questioning his character or taking a shot at his wife. Probably doesn’t really matter to him, but I guess it’s possible that it could.

I honestly think this mini-playoffs that panthers just played showed that Hoff is way more tuned in when it matters than Daddy. Hoff was good offensively and decent defensively. He threw a few body checks even. Based on this, and his PP production, it’s no contest performance wise.

But price? I have no idea what they’re asking.

This is Zito's first opportunity to show how good he is at the negotiation table. Regardless if the Cats manage to sign him they will be needing proven goal scoring touch from the wing. Hoffman will be one of the first guys to go in the FA market just because his ability to find space and score in the PP. Teams like the Jackets and Isles would pay premium for his services just based on their experiences in the playoffs.

Yeah, plus i have the feeling the Wings will throw a massive contract offer at him, they have the cap space and dont have to worry about contracts for a few years. Hoffman will get a lot of money if he chooses to do so.

Maybe, but its also the term. The Panthers will have Barkov, Ekblad, Bob, and possibly Huby all signed to massive longterm contracts eating up half of the cap. They arent going to give Hoff one. And its probably a good idea not to.

Yes, the term he will want is what worries me about re-signing him.

I agree. But if you’re him, and the deals are 4 years at 6.5, and 7 years at 6, he takes the latter (and becomes an anchor after year 3).

 

[violaswallet]

Yep: it’s the paradox. We want to re sign him and love his value but we think he will get a contract exceeding his value

Thats why i said NYR about Panarin, from there youth Days.
