Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Mike Hoffman signs with the Canadiens (3 years, $4.5M AAV)

[thethirdhockeyman91]

best deal of free agency

 

[LMFAO]

Lapierre once said in his podcast

“I’d rather loose without Hoffman than win with him”

I guess the locker room cancer rumours arent true eh?

 

[JianYang]

Why? Replacing Tatar?

I suppose you could say that but hoffman gives the team a one time shooting threat on the right side.... Something that should help their PP alot.

 

[sxvnert]

Pissed. This is a good signing for the Habs.

 

[sansabri]

i did not expect this at all. 3 years is really good too

 

[habamillions]

Cant complain about this. Aav is alright. Term is decent. Habs need scoring. Thats what hoffman brings, especially on the pp

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Bergevin: All your players with bad character belong to us

His bad character would be attributed to his gf and nothing has come of that situation, so... yeah.

I mean the whole Karlsson saga was definitely pretty f***ing crazy, I can tell you that much.

 

[ottawa]

Didn't the Hoffmans more or less get vindicated by the end? That the Karlssons thought a poster was Ms. Hoffman when it ended up not being so?

Yep, Melinda Karlsson made it up.

They wouldn't hand over any "evidence" to the courts and in the end it turned out there wasn't any evidence

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Yeah pretty solid deal.

Wanted him last year.

Pretty sure he will improve our PP.

 

[pld459666]

This is a good deal.

A sniper for sure.

 

[Blanick]

Absolutely lethal on the PP. Beyond that his 5 on 5 play leaves a lot to be desired. Good luck in Montreal, Mike.

 

[JustAnotherHockeyFan]

Powerplay specialist awful at ES for 3 years bleh continue to be mediocre I guess

Montreal excels at even strength and is practically invulnerable on the PK already. Why wouldn't they want a power play specialist lol. How many Armias, Gallaghers, Kotkaniemis, Byrons, Lehkonens do they need

Lapierre, the reference in class on the ice.

 

[Mikeshane]

Montreal need help on the PP and Hoffman has been able to produce there pretty darn well.

 

[LMFAO]

Lapierre, the reference in class on the ice.

atleast he is class off ice tho

 

[amnesiac]

Caufield
Toffoli
Anderson
Gallagher
Hoffman
Drouin
Armia

Great winger depth again

 

[sens13]

[Just A Bit Outside]

Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrender's in sight

Don't you worry,
It's gonna be all right
'Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you outta my sight

(I'll be ready) I'll be ready
(Whenever you fear) No, don't you fear
(I'll be ready)
Forever and always, I'm always here

 

[ItWasJustified]

$973,630 in cap space. So Kotkaniemi and Lehkonen is gone?

Caufield
Toffoli
Gallagher
Hoffman
Drouin
Armia

Great winger depth again

Yeah great. Too bad that the most important position in hockey is center.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Well, Habs needed finishing. And that's the one thing Hoffman does. Don't love the term at his age, but I get it.

 

[JianYang]

Montreal excels at even strength and is practically invulnerable on the PK already. Why wouldn't they want a power play specialist lol. How many Armias, Gallaghers, Kotkaniemis, Byrons, Lehkonens do they need

Habs have taken a hit 5 on 5 this offseason, so it will be interesting to see if they can maintain that identity.

Hoffman was a guy I thought would have been a great fit last year.

It still might be fine, but we will see.

 

[ottawa]

Great depth through the lineup

Drouin - Suzuki - Caufield
Anderson - KK - Hoffman
Toffoli - Evans - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Paquette - Armia

 

[amnesiac]

$973,630 in cap space. So Kotkaniemi and Lehkonen is gone?

Yeah great. Too bad that the most important position in hockey is center.

Suzuki seems to be doing A ok

Weber's 7.8 mil on LTIR.
