Which of the following top 9 wingers would you like to see moved out of the top 9 so that Hoffman can be showcased?

Caufield - Slaf
Farrell - Gurianov
RHP - Anderson
Hoffman can't be showcased his resume is well known and nothing will change who or what he is.

exactly. He'll have little to no trade value at the TDL next year. Better to cut ties this summer.

One of those 2, most probably Farrell
We'll see how Farrell looks look later in the year

But why washed up Hoffman over Gurianov who has done potential?

I mean even though Gurianov had a nice pass tonight, I was disappointed in some of his turnovers and two missed open nets.

But then again it's good he's getting chances.

I feel like they will do everything to showcase Hoffman, if they don't, we will have another Drouin situation come next TDL. Let's face it, there will be a few injuries as well and players will be moving around regardless

He's got 10 points in the last 15 games. They're playing him because he's producing more than Pitlick and most of our other forwards.

I get that he's unliked around here, but he had a few very good games recently. He's got some of his speed back and made great passes. Not sure we have a lot of other guys that brings what he brings on the team, even with all his downsides.

A guy like Farrell could end up replacing him at some point though.

He's as good as gone, a few points at the end of entire contract isn't good enough

I hate to see anyone with mental heath problems or any type of health issues for that matter.For just what he has done hockey wise for this team well that's another matter.Good luck to him in whatever he decides to do as long as it is not here .He has made more money that most of us could only dream about and hopefully put a bit away .

I think he along with Armia struggle to keep their heads in games. They do well when they are on but struggle when the season becomes a grind. To bad as they could both be effective if they consistently brought their A games.
