PTO: [EDM] Jasper Weatherby, Mike Hoffman and Travis Dermott sign PTOs with the Oilers; 6 others invited to camp

[KingPuckChoo]

So are 90% of the other players on a PTO.

So are 90% of the Oilers roster, but as long as McDrai lives on, expect Hoffman to score 90pts this year

good deal!

Yes, but if we don't say it with each signing, its possible people might think they are still actively cooking. Can't have that.

Unbelievable that LA has not found a way to shut down a two-man team with 90% a cooked roster. Great analysis man.

Go kinGs Go!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Luckily he’s a warm bodied veteran to toss into pre-season games!

I doubt he signs a meaningful contract

IS there such a thing as a non-meaningful contract?

sour grapes from a fan of a team that loses to the Oilers in round 1 every year in consecutively fewer games

This is just to fill a roster position for the preseason. Hoffman won't get a sniff of a contract.

 

[VeteranPresence]

I don't see how anyone can seriously hate on a PTO, never mind a guy who would only be looked at for 30ish points if he's even signed. With Kane still hurt and Savoie possibly not ready yet for a full-time job, a vet winger for the third line and PP2 is just what the doctor ordered.

 

[Captain Mountain]

I think the Oilers might be eyeing a Hoffman-Henrique-Brown 3rd line.

Which would have been a great 2nd line 3-5 years ago.

More 5 than 3, Hoffman was cooked 3 years ago.

Do you think running over the Kings a fourth year in a row will instill them with enough confidence?

oh boy i sure hope not, if that's how you guys measure success no wonder you guys are 0 and 3

better not use the LA Kings as a measuring stick for succcessss! but then again, sure why not

 

[Sasha Orlov]

He ain’t gonna make it

 

[Czechboy]

I'd say he has zero chance of making it. But I think he knows that and is hoping to be signed elsewhere in the NHL. I say 50-50 this works out for him in NHL.

We are very thin in prospects and our forwards are pretty much set. So I think it's fine to bring him in the deepen the preseason roster.

Actually it's 3-0 against LA, just want to make that clear.

You can say that again, Blake and Robitaille are two of the worst executives in the league.

Don't tell your fellow Habs fans that, they were trying to get Bouchard for him

Bad trade proposals? On my HFBoards?

Impossible. No fan of any team has ever done such a thing. All are innocent of such a heresy.

 

[Zerotonine]

Really liked Hoffman but this is 5 years to late, tbh he hasnt really been the same since the locker room drana with Karlsson, on a side not nether has Karlsson tho.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

There's bad, and then there's the equivalent of Henrique for Hutson, haha.

Mike that Hoffman

Didn't Karlsson win a Norris trophy since then?

I've seen the equivalent from Oilers fans, I'm not sure what your point is other than derailing this thread.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This dude is cooked.

So are 90% of the other players on a PTO that's why it's a PTO

 

[Oilslick941611]

Weird PTO, wonder if he thinks he might get to play with McDavid/Drai and boost his preseason production for a signing from another team

its probably because there are veteran minimums needed for preseason games. I don't see where Hoffman fits in on the regular season roster and I highly doubt he makes the team out of camp.

They should be focusing on two-way or physical players. This guy sucks so much.

meh, its a PTO not a contract. In 3 weeks it's over.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Point is that the player Habs fans tried for years to shove down our throats is now here on a PTO, so the stupid-ass offers floated by the Habs faithful look even dumber.

 

[Sensinitis]

Yeah, nevermind that 100 point Norris season that EK put up 2 years ago

 

[McHelpus]

Any players like that left available for a PTO though?

 

[Captain Mountain]

Damn, I hope you match that energy with the stupid-ass offers floated by the Oilers faithful, but I somehow doubt it.
