The stakes are high with regards to Mike Hoffman as the possibility of an arbitrator deciding his contract looms.
Hoffman has filed for arbitration, which does suggest that one way or another he will be playing for Ottawa next season. The issue is that he'll be eligible to test the UFA market next summer and it wouldn't be surprising if he does if the two sides can't see eye-to-eye over the next few weeks. If the Senators and Hoffman can work out a long-term deal prior to his arbitration date, then the hearing will be moot. He had 29 goals and 59 points in 78 contests last season.

The conversation started after February 12, 2015, so it's okay.

This reminds me of when a choice few (365, you and myself) hated the Nolan hire from day 1, and were told to let it go, only to have 95% of everyone on the same side a year later

I'm generally a GMTM fan, and believe some of his best work is finding good prospects in the middle of drafts. I love the fact he is aggressive and goes after what he thinks is best for the team. There are always risks associated with that including over paying. That said, the Sabres had too many player contracts and picks, so he could afford to make a couple of those moves.
He will now start to earn his stripes when he no longer has an abundance of currency.
I have liked the vast majority of his moves, including that of Kane/Bogo, both have warts...so did the players we let go. If they could teach Kane how to be more accurate with his shot, and make the smarter play...he will improve greatly...yet to be seen.

I think a lot of people knew Noaln wasn't going to be a permanent fixture and was hired as a band-aid. No one I know of expected him to be here longer than 2 years

Why don't you just let the Kane and Bogo stuff go already, it's old let it go. Everyday with the same crap.

He trades both Kane and Bogo for a 7th round pick in NHL 16 and smiles for hours afterwards.

No other shoe. I usually don't randomly bring it up. I respond to others. But since we are on the subject..... Here are some players who scored more than our bad boy

Blake Comeau
Jaime McGinn
Troy Brouwer
Ales Hemsky
Antoine Vermette
Kris Versteeg
Matt Beleskey
Zack Smith
Leo Komarov

Career 3rd liners.....But hey as long as he produces

Brouwer had 140 goals in last 7 years
22
17
18
19 (in shortened season)
25
21

he may be a third liner at end of deal, hardly a 3rd liner right now

Kane disagree's and Bogo can punch him in the face but Myers, will take him to dinner.
