How fast is Hoff compared to the other guys like Dads/Tro?

I'm excited to see if we can finally do some damage on the power play. His snipes will be a welcomed addition.

I was watching highlights of him from last season there was a play where he was chasing after the puck with a defender slightly ahead of him and Hoffman just blew by him for a breakaway goal. It really impressed me. I think he’s immediately one of the fastest forwards on our team.

Interesting that Tallon said he would be Trochecks winger most of us have him penciled in with Barky

I think most have him penciled in with Trocheck

Hopefully Tippett is ready to jump into top 6 so we can drop Bjugstad out of top 6 or trade him

I'm still hoping. I think he's the last piece of suck that needs to go from the dynasty team.

Why do people think Sateri is so bad?

He was actually the first spark that started the Panthers awesome spring run. He's learned a lot and can be better.

It's really weird that people apparently assum he's not that good. I don't know why.

I don’t think anybody thinks Sateri in bad. I think most of us would like to see Reimer get traded and Sateri and somebody else competent compete for the 2nd and 3rd goalie spot.

Watching those Hoffman highlights, I think it's interesting that a ton of his goals, especially on the PP, were him playing offhand RW. I think he'd be okay there.

Link please? I know Defranks said it, and I think he will be just because they need to maximize Bjugs' effectiveness and play him with Barkov, but I didn't see DT say anything.

I don't like playing someone like Bjugstad with your best guy to get something out of Bjugstad.

Boston was one of the best teams in the league because they had probably the best line in the league.
Florida could built something similar.

Throw Bjugstad to the 3rd with the kids, the 3rd can't be just a kids line.

I was referring to people saying Hoffman will be Barkov’s winger. Tallon went ahead and said that he will be Trochecks winger or something to the effect that we acquired him to play with Trocheck. This also means Huberdeau will be shifting back with Barkov or playing with Borgstrom.

Hoffman can play RW too.

So the second line still could be Huby-Tro-Hoffman

It’s possible but we are a bit thin on the left wing outside of Huberdeau and now Hoffman. So if we have them on the same it forces another player to play out of position.

doesn't matter where anyone thinks he's going to slot in the lineup as of now, Tallon included. Boughner will mix up the lines until he finds the best combos

I think Boughner will try him out, but since Barkov Dadonov is working, and Huby played in junior with Hoffman. I could see Boughner stays with the Line if no Big chances comeing up.

Btw why does Bjugstad doesnt have a fiance like Hoffmann. ;)
