Player Discussion Mike Hoffman - (The $5.2 Million Dollar Man)

[starling]

Turns out you can still sign good deals without any bonus and front-loading BS in this league

 

[DuckedUpOnQuack]

Management must be putting together a pretty good pitch about how we're in win-now/nearfuture mode.

 

[HSF]

I thought melnyk was cheap?

 

[The Lewler]

Most precise AAV ever.

 

[Hutz]

Thought he was to be traded if not signed by the draft?

Very happy with this deal, we keep our goal scoring talent, and we are paying him under market value should he keep up his goal scoring.

I think if his side had shown no willingness to make a deal, he would have been dealt (or at least an attempt would have been made) at the draft. Despite what some would have you believe, obviously the Sens knew there was a deal to be had, but negotiations take time. As I said, I'm surprised, I really thought both sides would wait until the pressure was a bit higher. I'm very happy they managed to make a deal well before the arbitration hearing - and a pretty good one at that.

There was never a doubt in my mind *****es, Hoffman is getting paid what he deserves.

Ceci next.

 

[Sun God Nika]

he is getting traded after the 3.8 year.

Congratz Hoff, you finally got paid even though it should have been a lot lot sooner since you were burried in the minors and even when you did get your shot to prove it the sens still didn't pay you.

Blame Cameron.

This is by far the most pessimistic take to a player- and team-friendly deal I've ever seen.

You seem surprised, lol. Typical.

Forgive him, he's still in mourning over DJ Zbad

 

[Knave]

I can live with this deal. 4 years, 5 million is fine.

 

[Baby Ryan]

Perfect deal.

 

[sensR4real]

I am so freaking happy right now....after Ceci, can we get Dorion signed long term??

Guy is outstanding.

 

[Big Papi]

I thought melnyk was cheap?

seriously...

Awesome to see a good deal signed

 

[OgieO]

Nice. Don't Hassel the Hoff!

Very happy he's staying at a reasonable price. Seems a good deal for both at this point.

 

[Xspyrit]

But I thought Mr Cheepo will never go above 5M. And Hoffman wants to front load it like crazy.

I will finally be able to sleep. I haven't slept since the draft. Mike Hoffman's contract negotiations were a true nightmare.

Thought he was to be traded if not signed by the draft?

Very happy with this deal, we keep our goal scoring talent, and we are paying him under market value should he keep up his goal scoring.

Another glass storm over, what is next now?

Our forward core is set for the next 3-4 years +

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
MacArthur-Brassard-Ryan
xxxxxxx-Pageau-xxxxxxx

And also many wildcards :

Paul-Brown-Dahlen
Dzingel-White-Perron
xxxxxxx-Lazar-xxxxxxx
More

Future looks bright, even if Turris, MacArthur and/or Ryan have to be traded somewhere down the line.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

It was pretty obvious he was staying the minute they hired Boucher as the HC and the high amount of praise they each heaped on each other.

He's also a favourite of Dorion too.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Me likey

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Would've liked 5 years, but great deal otherwise.

 

[BonkTastic]

No NTC or NMC? Cool.

That's a nice deal. Not that we'd want to trade him or anything, but if the situation comes up and you have an opportunity in 2-3 years to make a deal that helps the club, you like having that flexibility.

Not having any movement clauses is just the cherry on top of an already fair deal for both sides.

are you really a sens fan? lol

 

[GWNR]

are you really a sens fan? lol

Some people just like to ***** and complain. They could win the cup and there'd be someone on here with negativity lol

This contract is good cost-per-point value.
