NSH Gets Hoffman and Tolvanen

Hard no for Ottawa, they have a 3rd line centre already. However, I would take Fabbro plus Smith as a cap dump to start something. Preds would be even more deadly. Even still I hope they don't trade Hoffman.

I can see that argument. Looking back, Allard wasn't a good enough prospect to offer. I would probably do like Aberg, Carrier, Bonino, and the 1st. Smith is on pace for 30 goals this year and is showing great chemistry on that line, so I don't think we'd try to get rid of him. Carrier is our second best D prospect. We gave up Girard earlier this year, so I doubt GMDP wants to lose the two best D prospects in the same year with Fabbro. Aberg has potential, but maybe a change where he can have a top 6 role would be good for him. Bonino remains the dump for me. I was thinking Emelin, but I'm not a huge fan of the options after him right now. I agree with your assessment that the original wasn't as fair after looking more into Allard. I think this one is much better though.

I get what you're saying about your prospects but if you want a premier player you're going to have to give a premier prospect. And although you already traded a top prospect that's not the sens problem. You'd also be bidding with St.Louis and or San Jose. So I guess it just depends on how bad you want him
