Confirmed with Link: Habs sign Mike Hoffman (3 years, 4.5M AAV)

[Habidelidoo]

Who's the odd man out ? Drouin ? We're not paying Armia 3.6M to play on 4th line...

 

[Zorba]

Love this. Love this !!! Pure sniper

 

[ManixLiquid]

I'll take back what I said, sorry Marc for assuming you were done immediately. We will still miss the playoffs without a high end PMD.

Price too high to pay via trades or top PMD demanding too much $$$ or not wanting to play in Canada.

 

[Natey]

Fine with this. Hopefully we can get Suter and we'd look okay. Maybe try to get some offense on D somehow.

 

[The Great Weal]

The guy has been close to or over 60 points a season for the past 6 seasons. His defensive game is horrendous though.

 

[llamateizer]

Fine with this. Hopefully we can get Suter and we'd look okay. Maybe try to get some offense on D somehow.

havent he signed 4 years with Dallas?

 

[Habsfan18]

He might be the worst forward defensively in the league. But his presence on the PP will be huge.

3 years is the perfect term for a guy like that. Will be 32 in November.

 

[Andy]

Bring in Eichel now. Do it.

 

[Habs4Life]

Great signing!

 

[Bacchus1]

Great news. Honestly, I always felt that the story was a little fishy, and that it was based on fear, suspicion, etc. Since it wasn't pushed any further after the trade, I always felt that Hoffman and his wife were caught up in negative rumours. I am sure they will fit in nicely.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

He's the Tatar replacement, but hopefully a slight upgrade.

I’m oretty sure there was a ruling at court that indicated there was no substantial evidence to prove the claims karlssons made.

which is wild cause he got destroyed for it but no one showed him mercy after that.

anyway, glad we got a sniper

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Absolute wicked wrister.

If the habs run their f***ing pp right they could he dangerous from anywhere

Suter has signed with Dallas

Well, we're paying Byron 3.4 million and Lehkonen probably around 2 million to be on the 4th line/spare forward.

Our highest paid center will earn less than Armia



The contract could be worse but I really don't like Hoffman. I hope he fits in

Excellent signing, good job but we still need a good D.

 

[Picaroon]

I like it. The guys is a consistent scorer for 5-6 years straight but never seems to get much appreciation. Should fit in well with so many good defensive players playing around him he can just do his thing. Hopefully another good weapon on the PP too.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Nice, they're giving KK some weapons. He'll have a combination of either Anderson, Toffoli, or Hoffman now. If Poehling can breakout as a solid 3C (while KK assumes 2C duties comfortably) which is very possible, the forward group should be fine. I like the D core going forward (prospect wise) but would've liked someone like Hamilton on top of Savard.

I give this FA an A- for the Habs. Avoided àbsolutely terrible contracts (danault) and made a few noticeable signings at acceptable deals (plus some good old bargain big moves)

 

[Seb]

Give him his own locker room.

 

[Yoor]

better be 3 years 3.5M or lower

or what?

 

[Natey]

Suter has signed with Dallas

Boooo. I thought someone said he wasn't picking for 2 days. Really unlucky.

Edit: wrong Suter buddy

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Awesome !

 

[TT1]

or what?

or overpaid

 

[webersshot]

I thought he wanted 6?!? Holy shit I love it
