Other sources have also indicated Hoffman is only interested in signing if Mrs. Hoffman becomes Canuck's Social Media Director.

If so, would Jimmy finally bite the bullet and pay the yuge cost to move out a bad contract in today's market?
Not sure what I think of this. 2 things to consider:
How much in assets would it cost to clear that cap space
And
Is Hoffman worth it?

Holtby, Schmidt and Taffoli would have made this a very successful offseason.
still not sure about Hoffman, would all come down to the cost to clear the cap space.
Edit:
Okay, his stats are quite good

Hoffman would feast off the dishes from Pettersson and Hughes. 30+ goals maybe more...

Re: 2020 NHL OFFSEASON
I wouldn't want to sign either one to a 4-year contract.
But if Hoffman will sign for one year I'd be interested.
The cost to move a contract in these times would be a bitter pill to swallow though.

I think Virtanen/Juolevi would be the sweetener(s) in moving out Loui/Sutter.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 7:17 pm Hoffman would feast off the dishes from Pettersson and Hughes. 30+ goals maybe more...

Maybe a high draft pick as well?

Funny thing is I'd rather ship JV out than OJ now...strange twist.
Also, it would help ease the sting immensely if its Loui attached over Sutter though. Eriksson needs to not be a part of the canucks any longer

Re: 2020 NHL OFFSEASON
I'd like to leave the Hoff alone. He is rumored not to be budging from a $5.5 to 6.5 asking price, this for what scouts have described as a 'calorie free' goal scorer. I'm really hoping Jim can continue on with the good, prudent work he has done this off season and continue to bargain hunt.

Re: 2020 NHL OFFSEASON
Not sure if we are not overvaluing Toffoli here a bit. Good hockey player, sure.. but we got to where we were with Toffoli playing when Boeser was hurt. With Boeser healthy (and looking good in the playoffs) do we really need Toffoli? The top 6 doesn’t get worse with TT gone, we just didn’t get better.theman wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 7:10 pmReally wish they re-signed TaffoliStrangelove wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 7:07 pmTONStheman wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 6:56 pmHmmmmmmStrangelove wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 6:32 pm Thomas Drance is saying Hoffman has chosen a certain team he wants to play for, but that team has to clear cap first.

And it keeps the cap space free and allows for internal growth and development.

Re: 2020 NHL OFFSEASON
Ya the Hoff only wants one year, 5.5-6.5 rumoured. Of course he'd love to play with Petterson and Miller and pad those stats. Line himself up nicely for a retirement contract.
If we can clear cap I'd grab him for a year, but no longer than that. Well I guess if its Louie that goes we could fit the Hoff in for two years.
So Markstrom becomes Holtby, Tanev becomes Schimdt, and Tofolli becomes Hoffman. Ok.

As it stands now we need Loui off the books next summer to make room for re-signings and replacements.....three of those re-signings will likely take up all of the currently projected available space.
