Hoffman to the Sharks

I thought I read it was probably going to be Seattle Totems

Boedker didn’t last long in SJ, huh. He was considered such a coup for them.

 

[BHD]

It's a good trade for the Sharks if you ignore the baggage, but that's why he was traded in the first place... On ice, he's not as good as Tavares, but he gives them a shot in the arm. Plus, they aren't handing him a bring contract either.

And yeah, Boedker wasn't anything special. The Sharks wanted to add speed after losing to the Pens, and that's about all he brings.

 

[Shockmaster]

Until Hoffman's fiancee is proved not guilty of cyberbullying, I bet it's going to be super awkward for Hoffman in the locker room.

 

[Shrimper]

Would have to say that if San Jose get Tavares and are able to re-sign the players out of contract, they'd be heavily tipped to do well in the West.

I...what Florida?

Sens are becoming more and more incompetent by the second.

I'm really not seeing how this move is that bad for him, after seeing what Hoffman was actually traded for. You can probably pull off a 2nd and 4th for Boedker in the future, especially if he repeats what he did last year (pace of 40 points).

Hoffman to the panthers...

Pretty good day for Doug Wilson. He gets rid of Mikkel Boedker and trades a 6th round pick in exchange for a 2nd, a 4th and two 5th round picks, plus $4 million in cap space and $6 million in real salary savings. #sjsharks

sorry i'm twitter linked challenged...

but apparently DW thought so little of Boedker he just wanted him gone.

I'd have rather have the picks now. Though I guess Ottawa's goal is to make sure they don't hand Avs a top 3 pick next year.

 

[cheesedanish87]

The Sens are just so bad in every which way.

I can't wait to see what this Karlsson trade is going to look like.

 

[USMC607]

Lmao if I'm Hoffman im doing everything I can to prove my innocence.

If he doesnt or it comes out his GF did it.

Hes going to have a rough rest of his career and beyond in the hockey community.

 

[USMC607]

But the fact The Sharks got a better return flipping Hoffman than Ottawa did is funny.

 

[cheesedanish87]

If i had to pick a team right now that i think will finish in last place in the League next year it would be Ottawa.

And the Sens don't even have their first round pick next year.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I have yet to see an actual reason for why Ottawa did poorly on this trade, considering what Hoffman was actually traded for. It's just group think it seems like to trash on the Sens, the same way it was group think to trash on the Habs for the Domi for Galchenyuk trade.

 

[Shady Machine]

Ottawa did do bad in this trade as evidence by the return the Sharks got from Florida.

one team had to trade him the other didn't.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Craziness. The Sens should of gotten better value. Sharks and Panthers made out great.

The Sens were the team in a bind. Desperate to shed Hoffman, a toxic asset, and cash.

That said, I don't follow why they didn't just deal with Florida directly.

 

[Al Smith]

With Hoffman, maybe Panthers will finally move into serious contention for a playoff spot. They’ve certainly got the talent. With Hoffman out of Ottawa I suspect the Karlsson thing will go away, but his gf will have an unspoken probationary period in Florida.

 

[BHD]

The Panthers add the player they were looking for and the Sharks clear room for (what you suspect is) a big fish.

I don't think Tallon is done.

 

[Shockmaster]

I predict the Panthers will make the playoffs in 2019.

Then I predict that when the Panthers have a good thing going, they will tear it down for no reason and miss the playoffs in 2020.
