I still think they’re missing a top6 F, Hoffman maybe?

He's a veteran 4C, don't see what the issue is.

He is a PK specialist. Will help NSH 29th ranked PK. I'm sure that is the reason why.

Sissons, Cousins, Kunin, Jarnkrok, Trenin, Pitlick can all play center on the bottom two lines. He's just so... unnecessary.

I don't hate it at 1 year $1m -- he's essentially the teams 12/13th forward with Trenin I bet (though I want Trenin to be in the lineup on a regular basis), but he should be able to help with the PK and faceoffs at least. Still need to add a top 6 forward like Hoffman or something. If NSH misses the playoffs, he could easily be traded to a contender too.

During last season, I thought Richardson would be a good, cheap pickup for NSH - but with all the moves Poile has made so far in FA, I do agree that it is not totally necessary. We'll see how it plays out.
