Friedman: Mike Hoffman is available in a trade

[Dr John Carlson]

Seems like those are the parts that get them pana and Bob so why not just ship them to the bus

*taxi

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

Hoffman to San Jose to reuinite with karl

 

[TSA0402]

Going all in on Panaran and Bob. Still though, i don't know why they need to trade Hoffman.

Would be both hilarious and sad if they trade for Panaran and Bob, trade Hoffman away, but Panaran and bob decide to leave in the offseason.

Would leave the Panthers with nothing.

Ehh.. technically they traded pretty much nothing for Hoffman.. it would leave them even.

 

[Kcb12345]

I'd love the Stars to trade for him. Exactly what we need

 

[Rory]

Me too. What is it going to cost?

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

makes more sense to move him over hubs. id imagine they could keep one

 

[Kcb12345]

Me too. What is it going to cost?

Honestly no clue. Wish we would've traded for him in the first place when he was dirt cheap

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Still confused as to why Florida wouldn’t just keep the band together and add Panarin/Bob on top. That forward group would be unreal.

It has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but none of the Hubie, Panarin, Hoffman crowd really enjoys being deployed on the right.

Pretty big gamble to deal one of these guys before you know you have Breadman though in my opinion. But I can see why both have become available once they cleared the space to go after both Panarin and Bob. You move one and funnel his cash towards a RW upgrade, while hopefully adding an asset in terms of picks or prospects. We will have to see, there are a lot of sliding pieces in reality to these things.

Greedy ? Edmonton needs him more . We don't have a top 6 winger on the roster . Hell we may not have a top 9 winger on a good team . We are f***ed because of Chia

 

[Rory]

I wish I could say I wonder why we did not trade for him in the offseason as well but we have Jim Nill. He still probably won’t go after him. Should have traded for Skinner in the offseason too.

Skinner makes sense because he would probably only agree to a deal to Buffalo. Hoffman though I agree. I guess with all the rumors and reports going around he just didn't want that mess here at the time, but it turned out to be nothing so unfortunately we, and a lot of teams, really missed out.

 

[TSA0402]

Hoffman is available, Huberdeau is available, Brassard is probably available. Columbus has (1) center and is willing to trade Bob and Panarin to a team they are willing to resign to? Hmmm...

Hoffman is a dynamic offensive talent I know that as a Sens fan. Problem is he has been underpaid for awhile and doesn't gel with everyone. As a PPG player at his age, I'd be wary of giving him a retirement contract.

 

[McSuper]

I would give Florida the same package they gave San Jose

And why would they do that ?

 

[Roof Daddy]

I could see the Bruins being interested. Not a fan of either team, but I could see something like this...

To BOS: Hoffman

To FLA: Frederic, 2019 1st

Could really solidify their top 6. Heinen has looked good with Bergie and Marchand, giving way to Krejci centering 2 snipers in Hoffman and Pasta.

 

[Pens x]

It will be amusing if Florida isn’t able to land Bob and Panarin and they clear out all of this salary.

 

[izzy]

so rumours of hoffman and huberdeau available and to bring in panarin

sounds similar to a few years ago when they purged their top wingers (marchessault, smith, jagr and jokinen) and replaced them all with a russian (dadanov)

 

[Neuf]

Tomorrow- Barkov!

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Florida’s trades are just as weird and random as Arizona’s.

 

[Legend123]

I would love either Huby or Hoffman with the habs. Unfort, Huby will cost too much, but Hoffman can maybe fix our PP.

 

[Nico Hischier]

Doesn’t huby have some crazy career streak where he has never gone more than 6 games without a point?

 

[McDrailers]

Now there’s a player I would love to see playing wing to McDavid. We have literally no trade pieces. Maybe if you unload Huby you can take RNH but that makes little to no sense I suppose.

[XXIV97]

And why would they do that ?

Hoffman is a bad locker room guy.

 

[seroes]

Just putting it out there...what if San Jose traded for him.....and flipped him back to Ottawa for all their picks back plus another second rounder.

Don't say it isn't possible. Pierre Dorrion is an idiot
