Horvat and Pearson are two of our statistically better defensive players, have to disagree there. Toffoli or Boeser would be better fits, but Hoffman will put up top6 points better than Pearson so maybe it will balance a bit.

Imo if you sign Hoffman he's better off playing with Petey and Miller, keep Boeser with Pearson and Horvat.

miller ep boeser was one of the most productive lines in the NHL, can’t see why you would mess with it.

Ya he’s a defensive liability for sure, but put him with Pearson and Horvat can shelter him a bit. I wouldn’t hate it at the right price.

Green threw Boeser on the 3rd line when TT arrived. I'd expect the same if Hoff was acquired.

Finding deeper balance is one reason.

Design 3 lines deep that has balance & scoring. In game TOI is a moving target eg PP & double shifting or some blender time. The 4th line TOI is low & PK’s.

This. As soon as TT came around Boeser barely saw time with Petey and Miller

Then they need a 3rd line centre. Rather they look at signing Brassard over Hoffman.

Gaudette is fine surrounded properly or even goes on the wing if another C is got. Granlund instead of Hoffman?

It was Moj .Said he had a reliable source that Green has asked to get another Dman . He said Calgary and Van were both trying to move 1 mil to sign him on a one year show me.

Just finished my fantasy draft in NHL 2017 (picked 3rd)

Palat Crosby Perron
Marleau O'Reilly Marchessault
Roussel Pageau Armia
Tanev Danault Clifford
Eller

Ekholm Hamilton
Hamhuis Tanev
Cole Bieksa
Fluery

Vasey
Raanta

I got lots of prospects as well.

I plan on building through the draft because I will know how the players turn out.

Marleau is out, STL just traded a 2nd for him.

Bieksa gone to TOR for a 2nd.

Benning should take lessons from me.

Possibly because he was injured for all except one game that Toffoli played during the regular season.....

I was about 8M under by the end of the season.

I lost first round 4-3 to SJ. Nashville won the cup. Just picked up Parayko and Nate Schmidt and Tanner pearson in free agency

Yeah simulator is so slow in this game. I'm just super bored.

I probably haven't played this game since maybe 2018

I thought Toffoli was stuck on the third line in the limited playoff action he recieved?

No. This team already is soft enough and bleeds shots against.
The opposition would be lacking their chops, playing against, A 3rd line of players who are vertically challenged and pretty weak defensively.

Nope, played almost exclusively top 6 in all playoff games and took Boesers usual spot on PP1.
