So if Hoffman went at the deadline sens likely could of got a late first plus . Nash did
This is still less than his actual value
Gee I wonder what could have affected his value...

Really not a fan of this swap. Hoffman is a good player. Why give away a sure thing for a *CHANCE* at Tavares, or whatever free agent is the backup plan.
I'm fascinated by this whole Hoffman thing. Did SJ ever really want Hoffman or did they just play Ottawa and got a better deal for him? I mean was SJ like, "Nice - We got Hoffman. Can't wait to see him on the team in October."
...And then Florida called?
Because for around the salary of Hoffman they can get Kovalchuk, JVR or James Neal for zero assets or trade for someone better like Kessel, Karlsson or whoever.Really not a fan of this swap.

5 of the 7 Canadian market GM's are terrible it's actually alarming how bad they are.
This is how you want to play?
Tallon said San Jose called him.I'm fascinated by this whole Hoffman thing. Did SJ ever really want Hoffman or did they just play Ottawa and got a better deal for him? I mean was SJ like, "Nice - We got Hoffman. Can't wait to see him on the team in October."

Ottawa clearly thought Boedker had value
Dorian really ****ed this up.

No he made the most of a terrible situation. It's the wives who've made a mess of this

Couple years down the road, when the 2nd and 4th and two 5ths got traded for bs players or draftees that turned into nothing. This board and everybody will still overvalue the draft picks.
A lot of ppl also seem to forget that Boedker was a 1st round pick, 8th overall in 2008 and Hoffman was a 5th in 2009. Ottawa got lucky with Hoffman, now they trade him away. They did not get fleeced.

This isn't fair. There's some really dumb GMs in the league that get taken advantage of in 1:1 dealsI think it was in the works between Florida and San Jose for awhile. Wilson and Tallon are good buddies. Tallon even said Wilson called him last night about it.
what does draft position have to do with it. Boedker has NEVER hit 20 goals. he hit 50pts 2 times in a decade on awful coyote teams getting 20mins of ice time. On good teams (avs/sharks) he has shown he is nothing more than a 30-40pt 3rd liner with wheels. Hoffman is a 25g+/55-60pt top 6 forward. ottawa got fleeced. 90% of people on here agree with that. just because one dude was a 5th and the other a top 10 a decade ago doesnt change that
Huh? PD is sniveling moron......that was obvious many, many years ago. I don't need any lottery winnings, good to goOkay the I told you so when Ottawa has reached the absolute theater of the absurd seems a bit much. You saw the last 12 months coming in Ottawa because honestly stop posting and concentrate on the lottery numbers you see coming if that is the case.
I told you so on Ottawa seems a bit much to me in my opinion. This is something I have never seen.
