Idiots and their misuse of social media just never ceases to amaze me.

It really is sickening and if it did come from Hoffman's fiancee, I really have to question both his choice in women and his overall character.

I have to give a seminar on it once a year at least where I work so that these kids (and TEACHERS!) understand the ramifications of who can see what, how it "never goes away" regardless of whether or not they think they deleted it and so forth.

It never dawns on them that pics and posts can be screenshot, downloaded, saved and basically kept for all time.

I have to warn the girls against sending candid selphies (this is a Philly board) because the boys will save them, share them, and there is nothing they can do about it.

I think today is the day we finally figure out if Schenn's output was replaced
- YuenglingJagr


I said it last night and I'll say it again today: not only was his production replaced, he wasn't even missed.

I think an nhl team would be foolish not to explore the possibility of adding Hoffman on the cheap. It boils down to he’s with some crazy broad. That’s workable imo
- Just5


I don't know, man -- if she did it, and if he knew (which are two big ifs) -- why even bring that problem to your doorstep?

Hard enough to win in that league. You already have multiple alpha dogs on any given NHL roster on any given day.

To me, just my opinion, you don't drop a Crazy Bomb into a locker room and then get to act surprised if it explodes. So why even risk it

If it's true, and if he knew about it, that is a huge character flaw that I'd want no part of.

Makes you wonder if Karlsson now really pushes to get moved so he can kind of get away from all this..if it is true. Maybe he just wants to move his family away from all this and the bad memories from the past year. Just a thought.

I don’t know. Have had players here beloved that have been known to bang other players wives right? This is some broad typing on a phone. I’m interested in Hoffman and yes if parts of it are true what he’s willing to do to put this behind him.

I see it as an opportunity to pillage a franchise that’s taking hit after hit

Yup. At this point, Ottawa is the most (frank)ed up franchise in the league. The owner is a douche, the assistant GM just got a restraining order put on him by a 19 year old shuttle driver who claimed the guy kept touching him and was making lewd suggestions and now this. Why the hell would Karlsson even think about staying?

My guess is both guys get dealt at the draft, but with that franchise, who knows?

If I'm an Ottawa Senators fan, I'm praying the team gets sold asap!

It not so much I don't want to take a chance on him, but that I think there will be better prospects available at 19 than Foudy. Right now, he'd fall into the 30-35 range when it comes to my personal prospect rankings.
- BiggE


Who would you take?

I don’t want any more Nick Cousins and Scott Laughton type players w top picks. I could be wrong, but I thought they were first rounders?? Too many “safe” picks....guys w slightly above average all around skills who don’t blossom at the NHL level. Just think sometimes you need to find the diamond in the rough.

Cousins was a 3rd rounder. Not a bad pick

I agree and disagree. I agree because we truly don’t know everything yet; it’s entirely possible Hoffman fooled around with Melinda. And I’m not justifying these horrible messages from his fiancee in anyway. the messages are wrong no matter what the reasoning is. But if Hoffman knew, which I can’t see him not knowing as other wives and ownership were aware, then as others have said you have a questionable character player and I’m not sure how players and even players’ significant others would react.

LOL Holy smokes

I don't even want to know

I really, really, really don't want to know

I'm pretty sure I'm getting blamed for that argument. It only started yesterday at noon and I only gave my first thought on it at 9pm at night.

Impossible to say without knowing who is still on the board, but I'd have all of the following ranked ahead of Foudy (not in this order)

Dahlin
Hughes
Dobson
Bouchard
Boqvist
Ty Smith
Sandin
Miller
Wilde
Svechnikov
Zadina
Tkachuk
Wahlstrom
Farabee
Kaut
Denisenko
Berggren
Kotkaniemi
Veleno
Hayton
Lundestrom

That's 21 guys just off the top of my head that I'd take before Foudy and there are others as well. Again I like the guy, but not enough to take in the first round unless I'm holding one of the last 3 or 4 picks in the round.

There's quite a gap between banging a guy's wife and wishing death on an unborn child.

- arichardson22



Yeah, seriously, just unreal.....assuming its true of course. the things that were said were just awful. I don't understand people sometimes. I wish people would think about their actions and words by putting themselves or their loved ones in the person's place.

Who's blaming you? The argument started off about Morin and Simmonds.

I don't think anyone is saying you instigated the argument yesterday, or I at least hope they aren't.

I'm curious as to how it gets to that point. These guys see each other every day, you'd think they'd try to end the problem way before it gets to that.

As a team, as much of a circus as it may be, I'm surprised other players didn't have EK's back more after it went on for a bit.
