Confirmed with Link: Panthers acquire Mike Hoffman & 2018 7th from SJ, for 2019 2nd & 2018 4th + 5th round picks

[RainingRats]

Don't look now guys, but we have the highest salary cap for next season at the moment

with 3.8 million and 4 or 5 guys to sign, I wonder who is getting shipped out. Bjugstad?

 

[BB88]

Great trade for you.

28y, 2 years left at a great cap hit, no major assets lost, and keeps you out of Pacioretty.

F group looks good, 5th best forward is a 60 point winger and then add Borgstrom& Tippett.

 

[FinlandPanther]

But why if we had March and Smith? I kid. This is huge redemption from Tallon.

You're not accounting for the cap increase, no one has to be shipped out. Cap's going up to 80 million.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Good addition but paid too much.

Yeah those 5th round draft picks that rarely make it are killing us. The only ones paying in this deal is the east when I watch Barky feed him on the power play and yelp like a little girl.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

We don't even know if Hoffman's fiancé did anything wrong. I wouldn't trust the court of public opinion. There's a lot of unknowns. Easy for everyone to say she did. TBD... Plus, it's not like Hoffman himself was doing this.

Lol. I'm pretty sure she did, if Turris's wife all all the other people confirmed it. Panthers acquired some cancer, but that's fine because it's a 20-30 goal scoring cancer.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

I still can’t believe it lol

Cap is going up 5M.

I could see them flipping Reimer to a desperate team like BUF or CAR, then trading 34+ for Grubauer

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Just keep Hoff's gf out of the locker room.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

The acquisition cost makes more sense when you consider that SJ is not taking any contracts back.

But still, getting a really good goal scorer basically for a 2nd rounder is amazing.

That is great, regardless of girlfriend.

oh. i didn't even look at that. thought cap friendly would be updated. good to hear

How is he the cancer if his fiancé did this? Guilt by association isn't very fair if he did nothing wrong.

That does look pretty gross.

Him or McGinn are the two likely candidates. Also, Tallon said he's not buying out anyone. So Mack is staying, I guess we can't have our cake and eat it too.

cap friendly wasn't updated with cap increase so we don't need to ship anyone out. keeping MacK is an obvious mistake

Well, he denies it and sides with his fiancee. Could've stayed quiet. And now he's as far from Ottawa as possible. Cancer. Also Ottawa got fleeced in this panic trade, so they really wanted to get rid of him.

 

[peterbiz09]

That does look pretty gross.

I mean, isn't that lineup way over the cap lol

 

[Boothinator]

 

[FinlandPanther]

Like I said there is for sure risk with this but the guy can flat out play and score. Time to see if all this character is BS or not.

 

[RainingRats]

I guess he's guilty until proven innocent in your eyes. No point in trying to convince you otherwise.

It’s only like an extra 6 mil?

Meh, he's dating her, standing by her and she supposedly made a thousand tweets + some off-ice stuff - if she really did it, he's responsible.

That said I'm all for him having a "redemption story" here and helping us far in the playoffs
