Trades

MTL

2024 3rd round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

Montreal trades Hoffman as a cap dump with their overload on the wing, trade a decent D prospect that isn't seen in Montreal's future plans to make the deal more fair.

WPG

Additional Details:

Winnipeg trades 3rd round pick and nothing more, knowing the value for Hoffman isn't significantly high. Acquire Hoffman for his services on the 3rd line, improving the Jets forward depth, as well as Norlinder, who maybe is someone the Jets could see something in. Hoffman is affordable too with only 2 years left on his deal. Not much risk involved here.

MTL

Future Considerations
Montreal dumps Armia for nothing. With his cap hit, while also coming off a rough season, I don't see how Hughes can realistically get any value for him. Armia's future in Montreal ultimately depends on if Drouin and/or Monahan are ready to start the season, or if Slafkovksy makes the Canadiens roster out of training camp.

ANA

Armia, Joel

Additional Details:

Anaheim acquires added forward depth. Armia is a guy who is a solid two-way presence in the bottom 6, capable of producing 25-30 points. His strong play in the IIHF world hockey championships, where he was key to Finland taking gold, would suggest that Armia is capable of having a bounce back season. Anaheim is also a team that has more than enough cap space to take on his contract, and he surely is a positive addition more than anything.

Jets decline neither is a need and give up the most valuable piece

Anaheim declines. Verbeek has already said he doesn’t want any cap dumps that have more than one year left plus there is no incentive to take the deal

Ducks pass. They aren’t going to take on 3 years of Armia just because. Sure he could rebound or he could also be a very high priced 13th forward. Just because a team has cap space doesn’t mean that have to use it.

The ducks are gonna need every dollar of cap space once Zegras and Terry get paid. And depending on what Drysdale gets all the cap space the ducks are looking at could be relatively gone.

Hoffman is a pure cap dump and moving two years of his awful contract will cost at least a first if you want that much in return.

When will habs fans start to apply the same logic to their own cap dumps that is applied when they take on cap dump lol. Cap space is so scarce right now that it is going to take a 1st plus to dump multi-year cap dumps. You just got a first just to take on one single year of Monahan. Pretending your players are so much better is just homerism and nothing more.
