Value of: What kind of Defenseman could Mike Hoffman return in a swap?

[bert]

14 more goals than he previous year, career high in pts. 36 goals

Stay away from guys bowling in the mountains, Rip.

He also didnt get to play in the same situations or with as good players and had a career worst plus minus despite scoring more. Its ok man you dont know anyting about the player or hockey in general if you dont think that being a pending UFA doesnt effect a players value.

 

[Addison Rae]

Sounds like a drag to take Hagg...

Now with Sanheim, Niskanen and Braun, it'd be wise to trade Myers who's definitely blocked now

Myers for Hoffman

Canucks fan here.

Tyler Myers for Mike Hoffman is a deal.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Flames don't really need more left shot wingers so not much interest in Hoffman, only players that really interest us are Tro, Noel, and Tippett but 2 of those are likely off limits and the 3rd (Noel) kinda misses our cup run time frame.

 

[cakeschmammert]

I feel like Hoffman for Vatanen is just too perfect for both sides to not be done, just based on need/available pieces. They're both expendable in their current roles and have similar cap hits. I say NJ adds a pick and it's a deal.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Oh Hoffman just learned to score goals this season? He has less term on his contract his value actually went down.

He is clearly worth way more than the sens traded him for but to suggest its impossible when we have an example from a year ago as you said when he has less trade value now makes you look foolish.

And you suggesting Robert Hagg for Hoffman makes you look way more foolish.

We've been linked to Myers as a UFA but hope we stay clear of that next contract...

All 3 aren't available imo. And not a big fan of Hoffman for Brodie as well. Don't feel we make good trading partners.

Vatanen isn't the type of D we're looking for. It's a way better fit for NJ than FLA

Not really. Vatanen isn't really the type they need. Fine player, but not a good match in this situation.

 

[Sparky93]

I’d do Brodie for Hoffman. Both guys expiring, if it doesn’t work out, it’s not a huge loss for either team. Hoffman could be an excellent fit on the Tkachuk/Backlund line. If you can’t afford to upgrade the centre, upgrade the wing.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Ryan Murray for Hoffman

This right here.

 

[IceManCat]

Maybe Jonas Brodin

 

[RussianSpy]

Johns or Oleksiak.

 

[MPGA]

For me, it's gonna take a top 4 D, multiple 1sts, and a few good prospects to pry the Golden Snipe God off our roster. This beaut unleashes hot clap specials every time he hops the boards. And throw in an extra 2nd for that magical flow

 

[Bazeek]

Maybe Jonas Brodin

While we do need goalscoring, it's pretty hard to justify giving up a defenseman for another LW.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Edmundson+Fabbri+2020 2nd?

 

[Toby Flenderson]

I would definitely do Schultz for Hoffman straight up. Or something like Schultz+ for Hoffman+

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Mike Reilly

Hoffman plays the right wing just as well as the left I don’t know if that factors into anything

 

[Seanaconda]

Cant really say that considering Hoffman just got traded for a cap dump that couldnt even stay in the Ottawa Senators lineup last year.

His value was at an all time low cuz of the gf thing. I assume him being fine in Florida got rid of some of that.


Maybe they trade him for picks then add to that for a dman from a rebuilding team ?

 

[RSeen]

Would definitely do Vatenen for him...Panthers would want more IMO.

 

[Shoofyou10]

I hear Jack Johnson is good The pens can even throw in a Kessel if you want

 

[AZviaNJ]

How about 2 years of Alex Goligoski ($5.475M cap hit)?

Or 2017 1st Rd pick PO Joseph....who is a defensive dman?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

A 3 time champion with an amazing head of hair and leadership off the charts

Brent Seabrook is the guy that will put Panthers over the top

I'm angry you beat me to this

 

[Chaos2k7]

"Just got traded...." meaning 1 year ago.

You may have missed the last season. Hoffman had 30 goals. You may want to update your take with that info.

36 and 70 points

 

[broncs918]

Nick Leddy

 

[Shnooks]

Risto? That would be weird though.

No way would I trade a 24 year old top-4 defenseman signed for 3 more seasons, for a 29 year old pending UFA.

I'd take Hoffman, but not for Ristolainen.
