News Article: Mike Hoffman's girlfriend allegedly behind Karlsson Harrassment. Update June15: Hoffman & gf respond

[Ouroboros]

if he dumps her and publicly states his disgust with the whole thing i think it recoups some value

He's sticking by her, man.

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

so they had a feeling it WAS Hoffmans girlfriend.

Yeah, back in April at least, but like I said they were apparently gathering evidence. Not sure if anything has changed or if the story just broke, but that's what I was told then.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Hoffman has come out and denied the allegations.

What a circus.

oh geez man.. shes NOT THAT HOT

 

[Upgrayedd]

Exactly as i had been told. Similar to the Lee scandal will have to hold off for more facts to be released publicly before getting into it personally....but this ones really bad folks!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He's sticking by her, man.

is the article more than the headline? headline sounds reasonable. especially if it was part of a police investigation

 

[bdp]

Do does this greatly effect his trade value? We have to get rid of him whether it's true or not, even though there is probably some truth behind this story.

Yes Absolutely. Dorion just lost all negotiating power, other teams now know that the Sens have to trade him. If I'm another GM I stay away unless I can unload a Lucic-like contract in the swap.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

wheres @mysens. i need to hear that they all had dinner last night and he was there and everything is actually one big joke.. Hoffman, karlsson, melnyk, and @mysens just laughing over a couple beers.. just laughing. imagine?

 

[Micklebot]

God damn it; Melnyk can't afford to provide paper bags with eye holes for all the fans to where at games

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He's sticking by her, man.

Would there be any way for the league to step in if absolutely no team wants him.

Shot in the dark, but I wonder.

 

[BondraTime]

Who wants to place your bets on what will happen next week with regards to the Ottawa Senators?

1.95 - Spartacat charged with heading prostitution ring

2.35 - Guy Boucher found sacrificing stray cats to appease the hockey gods

1.05 - Payroll hasn't been met, all personnel payed in Double-Bubble gum

 

[BonkTastic]

To say Wideman is worse than Hoffman is BS. Wideman has never done anything like this, so its being disingenuous.

Wideman has never done anything like this that the press has reported on, sure.

 

[Larionov]

I'm not sure that this guts Hoffman's trade value as much as we might think. He is a proven NHL goal scorer under a pretty cap friendly contract for the next two years - that's all that matters. It was also a pretty open secret that Ottawa might be looking to move him anyway. We were willing to pick up Dany Heatley 13 years ago and he had just killed a guy (albeit accidentally), so I'm pretty sure that a dude with a psycho girlfriend is not a deal breaker either...

 

[Ouroboros]

Would there be any way for the league to step in if absolutely no team wants him.

Shot in the dark, but I wonder.

I think we'll still be able to move him, but not for any real value.

2nd round pick tops. Probably less.

 

[BonkTastic]

"The application for a peace bond, sworn in front of Justice of the Peace Louise Logue on May 4"

... huh, May 4.

Team has known about this for over a month.

 

[Silencio]

It definitely plays in the minds of teams.

Brent Grimes, an NFL player, wasn't able to get the money he wanted, and most teams wouldn't sign him because of his wife Miko Grimes being a toxic person.

Also the Habs didn't have to trade Subban, whereas Ottawa has no choice but to get rid of Hoffman...and teams know this.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I think we'll still be able to move him, but not for any real value.

2nd round pick tops. Probably less.

That would be fine.

My standards for content with this team lower by the day.

 

[Micklebot]

Wideman has never done anything like this that the press has reported on, sure.

And to be fair, Hoffman is just sticking by his crazy GF who is accused of doing it, he's not the one that allegedly did it. Wideman has a high bar to clear, but it's not Hoffman's GF high.

I agree. I'm willing to bet this may have a slight negative but won't totally tank his value. Evander Kane as well has never had the rep of a guy that is easy to get along with and he seems to return nice hauls.

 

[Micklebot]

Well... SJ still traded a fair bit for Kane, and then signed him to a pretty lofty contract. There's still hope, right?

 

[SENSational]

Ughhhh...this organization is a joke. Starts from the owner down...as soon as they learned of this, Hoffman should've been booted out of the city.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Wideman has never done anything like this that the press has reported on, sure.

now you might be getting into trouble

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

This organization is bad for my heart.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Well then. I guess my favourite player is being traded from the Sens yet again... and I'm not even mad if he won't dump that bitch.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

This is the f***ing omnishambles.

if it comes out that some of our players when in training were harrassed by Lee i think that might officially end us
