NHL Around the NHL - Offseason moves and rumblings

[Gee Wally]

Stuff happens......you will never see Marc Savard and Dennis Wideman breaking bread.......reasons why Wideman was traded.

The worst thing that has happened in social media , is online Crucifixions without proper due process

Its not new that a "leader" or "popular" person from a group of friends ....tells stories about disliking somebody because of A,B,C ...and these friends follow/back this person

Sometimes its over exaggerated or not even true (not saying Melinda is not telling the truth). So who is the real victim in this case?

IF there is evidence of this guilty persons behavior from the past (past co workers etc), Melinda has concrete proof of harassment (like multiple calls on her phone) vs a fake account.

Melinda probably realizes she can't make her case unless she has some concrete evidence. Yet the Hoffmans say 150 percent they are innocent. Somebody is lying and somebody is telling the truth. Not my call to "guess"

That happens in High School, I'm pretty sure the people concerned have left that behind years ago. With all the wives coming out in support of Melinda, my guess is her claims are probably real. The truth will surface , I have no doubt.

Is there something in Ottawa's drinking water????

Maybe they import it from Flint Michigan?

yeah its not in Hoffman fiance favor

But they say they are 150 percent innocent

Though this could mean anything. In Hoffmans point of view, he can only trust what his fiance says

At the end of the day, feel bad for the dude because he probably has nothing to do with this. But if he is involved (and somehow truth comes out) he can kiss his nhl career goodbye.

For Hoffman’s career I hope she is playing and lying to him and he dumps her because I agree with you if he was in any way involved in this he is going to have a very difficult time finding another team that wants him.

I just can’t see Karlsson’s wife using such a horrific tragedy to ruin someone. No matter how much you hate someone.

Most people will claim innocence until the proof becomes overwhelming.
150 % doesn't really exist, your either 100% innocent or your not. Just overstating your innocence kinda makes you look a little guilty.

Looking forward to the new schedule. Then I can plan my life

I hope the Bruins don’t have a schedule like they did last year down the stretch . With so many games in the last month ,this year , it really caught up to the team . I would rather play a lot of games in October and November so they can get a better feel on any prospects. Just a brutal schedule down the stretch , last year .

That’s the owners fault for a lousy schedule. Stop putting so many things in the spring at the Garden.

They have to do Hockey East and the high school hoops and ice tournaments. This year they had the NCAA East Regional in college basketball.

 

[Olden McGroin]

What is McKenzie smoking? I find it hard to believe any team would throw that kind of money at Johnson. He was a healthy scratch in the playoffs for crying out loud. Even Bergevin is not that stupid, and that's saying something.

Well Bergevin did give Alzner almost $5 million. I certainly hope the Habs sign Johnson to a bloated contract

He probably doesn't get $6 mil, but $5 would be good- Alzner and Johnson eating $10mil of Hab cap space

EDIT: And there were some here that were suggesting we sign Alzner . . .

I don't know where that #7 from Vancouver interest post is...but....

Do you deal Heinen and Gryz for #7 and Virtanen?

If you could get Bouchard, Dobson or Wahlstrom I would do it.

I wouldn't. It'd make the Bruins worse in a season they should be competing in. I think moving Heinen is going to be a huge mistake if it happens and really have no interest in Virtanen

I'd be real surprised if the Canucks did that too. I don't quite understand their long term plan right now, but if it involves moving the 7th overall for b-level 23 year olds, woof.

Interesting proposal, have the Canucks ever dealt an underachieving power forward along with a high first round pick to the Bruins?

there is nothing in his track record that makes me believe Bergevin is not that stupid.

Again, regardless of whether it was Hoffman's fiance making those posts or a random collection of dirtbags, there's clearly enough ill will between her and the other wives that show the situation was clearly toxic, which is why the team looked like a dumpster fire this year. Now that the cat is out of the bag, no chance for them to ever get this back in. Wholesale changes look to be coming in Ottawa.

 

[Banded Peak]

I think blaming behind the scenes drama for the reason the Sens stunk is probably an overreach. Duchene wasn't the upgrade they were hoping for, and with Methot gone and a hobbled Karlsson they seemed to be chasing it from the beginning. That and a lot of the players on Ottawa just aren't very good.

I also think that while what she allegedly said is awful, guys like Todd Bertuzzi found work for years after paralyzing a guy, not to mention the stuff that's been said about Alex Burrows and his conduct over the years. It'd be a shock to me if Hoffman was out of the NHL over something like this, even if he doesn't dump the chick.

Good, I hate that team and more importantly their fans. Never seen a bunch of bottom feeders gain such a loud voice after 1 season.

I was very interested in a getting Hoffman to solidify the middle 6, but I'm all set after this.

Unless he leaves the GF in Ottawa. True or not, they seemed to have pissed off a lot of guys/wives on the Sens.

 

[Fenway]

This Ottawa story boggles the mind

 

[Alicat]

Weeks after captain Erik Karlsson had a face-to-face parking lot confrontation with teammate Mike Hoffman over a belief Hoffman’s fiancée, Monika Caryk, was guilty of unthinkable harassment of his wife, the matter wasn’t settled.

Brennan: Senators will suffer greatly until truth comes out in the Karlsson-Hoffman story
