Unless it's for a very good top 4 dman I'm gonna be pissed. Absolutely no need to make this move before Panarin signs otherwise.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

So dumb if we trade him.

“Oh hey, scorings been a problem since our existence, so let’s trade a pure sniper.”

 

[RainingRats]

It would be so stupid to trade Hoffman. Trade a pick and prospects to get a top 4 d. Especially stupid to move him at the deadline

 

[Mogo]

Not a fan at all of idea trading Hoffman. Major reason our PP has been so good.

I understand it tho as he'll be UFA after next season and I doubth we'll have money to resign him. Expecially if we sign Panarin then we need to keep his pal Dadonov.

In the end. I hope we just dont dump Hoffman and not even sign Panarin

We can trade him this offseason and probably have more options and a better return. If we can’t extend him and we are out of the playoff race we can move him next deadline.

Hard to see how any team can trade for him at the deadline and send us a top 4 d now

Could be a 3-way trade for one of Anaheim's guy. Send him to Anaheim and they flip him for picks or something.

If we trade him it better be for a good return. They’d be idiotic to salary dump during ticket renewals. But then again “Panthers”.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I don't think basically any fan of this team wants to see Hoffman get traded. If it happens, then the return had better pay off quickly or there are going to be torches and pitchforks coming out.

Hoffman + Pysyk

For Laine and Kulikov

 

[ShootIt]

Not liking this but will wait on possible returns

 

[I am not exposed]

No thanks.

Well, actually having Kulikov back would be kind of fun haha.

Have no interest in Laine, especially with how much he will be asking for.

Yeah, who would want a 20 year old with 100 career goals already, centered by his fellow countryman. He might be in a slump, but he is still on pace for 35 goals, and has an elite shot.

 

[pb1300]

I seriously doubt Hoffman would be moved for anything other than help on the blueline. If his job is on the line, and the ownership wants results over the next year+, Dale will not be accepted picks and prospects for Hoffman, or anyone else with time left on their contract.

 

[StrangeVision]

Since his five goal game on November 24th, Laine has six (6) goals in 38 games, that's on pace for 12 goals over 82 games. The last thing we need is for our top scorer to be unmotivated.

 

[Sticksandsun]

This cannot happen until Panarin signs unless it is for an elite top 4 guy

 

[FrolikFan67]

we BETTER sign Panarin if we trade hoffman. hes was the more likely casualty because huberdeau has 4yrs remaining while hoff only has 1, and dadonov would be a necessity im sure for panarin (or at least a large influencer in the deal). the only problem is huberdeau could actually return a top-4 D, hoff with only 1yr remaining most likely wont, especially being at the trade deadline why would a contender give up a top-4 D? it wont happen.

im hoping the ducks, even though they could totally do this in the offseason then, but if the ducks are willing to move Manson or more likely Montour, then its not bad.

my guess is a team like calgary or winnipeg. calgary really only has valimaki, which i doubt theyll trade, and winnipeg has brossoit, i guess. idk, i dont see this working out well

He'd be plenty motivated playing next to his call of duty buddy.

And he'd get less than Panarin.

But lets get real, Laine isnt available. I am just distraught by all this. Someone kidnap Dale.

 

[floridada]

Goddammit.

You just know he's going to trade off Hoffman, then Panarin goes to sign in NY. We're all here to suffer forever.

We went from 23rd on the PP to 3rd best in the league. I know people want to credit McFarland for the PP success, but it's painfully obvious the reason is Hoff and the threat of his lethal shot, as well as the chemistry between he and Yans. Tallon would be extremely foolish to trade him away, get rid of someone else's contract like Matheson, who hasn't proven we can count on him for consistent offense and defense.

 

[MintyFresh88]

There’s no way Tallon wasn’t going to explore this. We aren’t looking good at all for playoffs and his value will never be higher, let be real here.

If someone desperate comes knocking after missing out on other options, I think we have to entertain it if it’s fair value.

I think this comes down to Tallon just doing his due diligence on a player that, by the sounds of it, is very sought after.

If we trade Hoffman for a 2nd someone should be fired.
