1) Hoffman is not the one doing anything

2) Girlfriend is innocent until proven guilty

3) Sens are a budget team and Karlsson will be a very expensive resign

4) Karlsson would get you the most value back

5) No guarantee he is even going to re-sign

1) guilt by association unfortunately in sports. And when a situation like this happens it has to be acted on quickly.
2) in the sports world, there is no waiting out the judicial system. A team needs to act and react asap.
3) the NHL has many budget teams. It's a cap league. 1 guy shouldn't cost the team and fan base..
4) in their situation they were getting bent over 1 way or another. Best be with hoffman than a potential HOF guy.
5) by all means he has said he is willing to talk extension prior to this situation.

4th round pick from Vegas (you need to be specific about these things)

You don’t think PD is doing the best he can given the tire fire of a team and the owner? He is in a no win situation. He signed his contract knowing he was in a no win situation. Melnyk signed him with the knowledge they were going to have a lot of pain. Dorian is not a good GM but he’s in a position where he’s already working with a deck of cards stacked against him.

He's shown that the "best he can" isn't good at all.
His trades have been down grades.
He's clearly not a strong negotiator.

Current situation in Carolinas hockey office may interest the rest of the hockey world. New owner who wants his prints everywhere...

We prefer the term “Atlanta Trashers 2.0” haha

I agree on all of that. But no one in the Ottawa GM chair would do any better right now. It’s a complete mess from the owner down to the stick boys.

I'm envious.

Since you wont need Compher anymore after you get Jack Hughes, trades us him back for pennies on the dollar.

DW: " Hello Mike , welcome to the Sharks organization"

Hoffman: " Thanks, I'm excited...my girlfriend wants to say something"

DW : Ok

Girlfriend : " Your wife's ugly."

Wow. You come up with that all on your own?

With what cap space?

I'm sure Edmonton sent an offer of Kris Russell or andrej sekera or Milan Lucic... all of which have no movement or trade clauses which any of the 3 would nix. I mean even the Oilers garbage refuses to accept a trade to Ottawa.
- wreckage

Well alright, but I'm sure they could have figured something out. Don't they have all summer to fit under the cap? I didn't think they had to be right away.

they are going to still trade Karlsson.

I guess COL fits the bill. Burnaby Joe has Dorion by the balls haha. I think OTTs best solution is to give COL the 4OA this year. Tkachuk would fit nicely in COL. Good looking team.

Actually, the best solution for OTT is to get a new owner.

If OTT keeps the pick and ends up taking Tkachuk, I predict Keith grabs his son by the ears and hauls him out of the arena. 1st flight back to BU.

Doesnt have to be right away... but why tie yourself by the short and curries immediately. Let alone before the previous seasons payroll is over? There is this old belief in not getting yourself into this situations until you have to. Most smart businessmen try to follow that philosophy. But hey, smart businessmen are never proactive. They just react to the market.

C`MON CALGARY DO SOMETHING, I AM BORED

4th overall or Otts 1st and Barrie for an extended Karlsson.

Either or I would be happy with this offseason

Father asked out of Winnipeg when he was young... why wouldn't he ask out of ott if sent there for his entry level sentence?

Credit to @Gerv_Rebrand on that one
