Thunder Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Such a PR nightmare, they needed to act quickly. Wasn't sure they would find a willing trade partner, but the Sharks aren't afraid to take risks on controversial personalities and you can't really lose that trade no matter what happens with Hoffman.

Though the Sens have pretty good odds of being terrible again next season, the lottery gives them zero guarantee of a better spot than #4. I don't know how good next year's crop is looking beyond Hughes, but it's hard to pass up on this year's pick and essentially gamble against yourself. Not the best message to send to the players / fans either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Ottawa news reporting that Dorion is going to meet with Karlsson now. Guessing he'll propose his July 1 offer and see if there's a chance he stays. if not, he'll be moving this weekend and the 4th overall will go to Avs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 The Panthers will also get a 2018 seventh round draft pick with Hoffman in exchange for a 2019 second round draft pick and 2018 fourth and fifth round draft picks. This doesn't look good for Dorion. That second round pick alone would have been a better return for Hoffman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwell Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 But they didn't want to trade within the division, I'm sure. That's a little rude of the Sharks' GM...and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hoffman's girlfriend better be worth it. I wonder if Florida will trade him before next season starts. If Hoffman plays with Trocheck, it could be a great combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leevaughn Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hoffman looks a whole bunch like a winner playing next to Barkov or Trocheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
