Friedman: Mike Hoffman could be on the move

[Section88]

Why?

 

[BB88]

Or another dman

Absolutely, but I guess we can all guess they are seriously looking at Panarin& Bob, been much more quieter on defense.

 

[PROMputt]

He’s just what the islanders need.

He would immensely help the PP and also look good with Barzal in my opinion.

 

[Batrous]

Why?

This Panther's organization must be very messed up if it is shopping a 20+ goal scorer 6 months after acquiring him knowing that one of their big problems in the last 5 or 6 years has been scoring goals. They are actually 11th in the league in terms of goals for so getting rid of one of their top goal scorers makes 0 sense unless they are getting a better one back.

Man some of you really have Troy or reading. It was more of an opinion than a rumor. There is no reason for Tallon to move Hoffman.

11th in the league this year at just over 3 goals a game. In previous years they often were under 2.5 goals a game.

Unless it’s part of a deal to get both Panarin and Bob, and I still don’t wanna do it since we can pursue them in the summer without giving up Hoff...he’s not going anywhere.

This was speculation, nothing short of that.

Agreed. Upgrade over Beauvillier. Isles need a scorer on that line.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

He’d be good in an Isles Uniform

 

[Reddwit]

I would love Hoffman... but the Oilers have enough of a **** show on the ice... do you want more of it amongst wives in the dressing room ?

Ohhhhhh. So that's the Oilers problem. Y'all been giving the wives their own stalls too?

 

[member 290103]

Sens should be all over this.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Need RD, what ya got?

Probably no one you really base a deal on that is available. Basically, the oft discussed Honka, or a high risk but much better player in Steven Johns, who hasn't played all year for headaches. A couple of AHL guys who project to bottom pair like Honka, while Johns has the tools to be second pair. If healthy, Johns could be a centerpiece, but Hoffman alone would command even more. I don't see both Brassard and Hoffman coming to Stars.

 

[ShootIt]

Better hope they acquire Stone or Panarin if they ship out Hoffman.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

I would do Russel and 1st OA for Hoffman.

 

[Hobnobs]

"hey we need scoring!!"
>trade for Mike Hoffman
4 months later, Mike Hoffman is available

I mean what? Coupled with the fact that they want to sign a 31 year old goalie to an 8 year contract

Maybe wives has been harrassed again?

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Better hope they acquire Stone or Panarin if they ship out Hoffman.

Better make it both.

 

[BatVader]

This is a Friedman lob....
Throw something in the air and let everyone play with it.
Don’t hold your breath on this.

Personally, if it’s not Bob Mckenzie, it’s not credible.

 

[DougieSmash]

Faulk for him

 

[Rick Maclennan]

To Edmonton pls and thx

2 2nds + Bear

He would be a perfect fit in Calgary
