Why a tryout?

Woah

 

[BlueDream]

Hell yeah.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Adds some fun

 

[Mike Liut]

It’s more than a tryout. It’s just a formality until LTIR money is moved

 

[BlueMed]

Fully healthy, we could have...

Hoffman O'Reilly Perron
Schwartz Schenn Tarasenko
Sanford Bozak Thomas
Sundqvist Barbashev Blais

Show me a Blues team in history with better offensive depth

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

This is great news. I don’t know when or what Tarasenko provides this season, or how the cap works out when he comes back. But having more good players is a good development. I bet his salary ends up being less than we would have guessed.

 

[BlueKnight]

Pierre LeBrun just tweeted that there is a one year deal for Hoffman once Blues use LTIR

Make it happen, Chief!

 

[tfriede2]

Nice - this is the move the SC blues make, not soderberg

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

Schwartz-ROR-Perron
Schenn-Thomas-Hoffman

Make it happen, Chief!

oh man...those are two sweet lines. Followed by Sanford/Bozak/Kyrou on the 3rd and say Sunny/Barby/Blais on the 4th. Doesn’t even account for Clifford, but with the likely COVID gymnastics in season plus the compressed schedule, depth is beautiful.

this

great move, could be a massive addition to the ROR-DP line

 

[The Note]

Was hoping this would happen. Certainly like the top 6 without Tarasenko a lot more now.

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Finally! This was a major need, and love to see Hoffman wanting to come here too.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Once Tarasenko and Steen go to LTIR Dunn and Hoffman to be signed.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

About time the Blues did something to help their top-6.

 

[Mike Liut]

About time the Blues did something to help their top-6.

Agree. I just posted yesterday that I wouldn’t be surprised if Army made a blockbuster move for a top 6. Getting one without giving up assets is even better.

 

[BlueOil]

it's a 56+ game try out

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Hell yes, well worth the risk, especially with the whispers of it just being a 1 year deal. LOVE his one-timer, instant PP upgrade.

I appreciate Armstrong’s professionalism so much. The fact that there was no noise about where Hoffman would go made me strongly suspect the Blues were seriously in on him. I love that the Blues front office doesn’t operate through the media, and respects the privacy of the players. There are almost never any leaks.

Clifford - Barbs - Sunny.... will be the 4th line. That’s right up Chief’s alley

Exactly. Pretty much all Blues rumors come from agents so we only hear what agent wants spread.

 

[Fatass]

How much will Hoff get when he does sign his one year deal? Five?
