Well the team better hope so... it be a decade of EK by then without much to show for it
We know how you fell EK feel's about it, How does EK really feel about it?

We will know in two years if he's willing to re-sign or wants to test the market
Here's to hoping playoff success is not something he cares to much about
Cmon man, everyone on the team has had their scoring go down since Boucher came in. Not really fair to just single out Hoffman for the result of a new system.
There's been a handful of negative comments about Hoffman all year long and you've never seen so much hate?
Lazar has been **** on repeatedly. Ceci and Borowiecki are getting a ton of hate.
But I guess you people wouldn't see it that way. He hasn't scored 30. It's a fact. He likely never will without significant changes in the rules.
What is this now? No facts allowed because they're too negative. Only alternative facts about Hoffman?
Karlsson does the same thing with his missed shots that run around the boards and cross ice slap passes. Occupational hazard of playing creative playersSomeone said Hoffman is like Kane light on occasion and I agree with that. On a not often enough basis. The problem with Hoffman is that out of his own pure laziness or lackadaisical attitude he continually does things that result in high danger chances going the other way. Maybe it's a lack of focus, idk. Usually it's when he is passing the puck....it's almost like because he is passing the puck he cannot score so he doesn't give a $hit so he doesn't pUT the puck where he needs to.
Yes.
What I'm feeling is White is Patrice Bergeron 2.0 and Chabot is like Canadian Karlsson.
Realistically, I see White like Mike Fisher and Chabot like Kevin Shattenkirk. They have higher ceilings than either of those two however.
The only name we're rumored to be looking at that I'm remotely interested in is Drew Stafford, mostly because he'd be a buy-low acquisition that's cheap, but also because he's 31 and could be of value to this team for years should we re-sign him.
3rd + depth prospect would probably do it

Would you not keep him as the Centre and move Brassard to the Wing?
Dzingel - Duchene - Hoffman (that's a fast group)
Brassard - Turris - Stone
Smith - Pageau - Ryan
Pyatt - Kelly - Wingels
Neil, Lazar
What is the obsession with Hanzal?
Sure he's a big body but what does he actually do that everyone wants him so badly?
He's not a point producer.

no, it's not the same thing. I get that creativity causes turnovers, that's hockey and frankly those are the guys that you pay to watch. Hoffman does that kind of thing occasionally and I have no issue with it. What I'm referring to us too frequent displays of laziness on Hoffman's end, mostly in the O zone, often on the PP.
Let's call him a 30 goal guy for argument sake. Look at last year's list of 30 goal guys. How many would you trade even up for Hoffman? Excluding guys 30+ in age.
Hoffman is a goal scorer, and he's done just that. What else do you need from him?

Hoffman is one of our best possession players.
The problem with Ottawa's fanbase is that we expect every star player we have to be like Alfie.
There is only one Alfie.
It's not as much as wanting more from hoffman as it is his role on this team. IF we get Duchene, and Hoffman doesn't provide more than he does now, then we can look at trading him for someone else who provides diff elements since Duchene is similar to Hoffman but provides more pros to this team.

lol people need to stop comparing mistakes of players to others without analyzing the good. Yes, Karlsson makes some brutal mistakes sometimes... but he's also the best offensive defender in the NHL, top 3 takeaway artists, shot block specialist, best transition and breakout player, best puck possession player etc...
What does Hoffman have aside from speed and goalscoring?
Before comparing player mistakes, look at the pros vs cons. If Hoffman was excellent defensively and was excellent puck possession player than i dont give a **** if he plays casually sometimes and even costs us some goals.
