From a hockey standpoint, San Jose wins easily. From a locker room standpoint, San Jose now has Evander Kane and the Hoffman/Karlsson saga to deal with. Nobody wins!
Edit: And now he's gone. Turn that plane around, chief!

Who wins? Erik Karlsson. Only has to see Hoffman twice a year. Nice trade to a Western Conference team from Karlsson's view. I don't think EK will be traded this summer, but it would be nice for him if it was done.
The ironic part about that whole thing is that they were BOTH traded to San Jose lol (even if one didn't even stay for a day).
Why Pierre Dorion didn't trade Mike Hoffman for maximum value before the story between Melinda Karlsson/Monika Caryk went public, I will never understand.
He could have just traded him straight to Florida and get the picks that San Jose would end up receiving an hour later.
And Ottawa would have been better off.
Not getting ahead of something before disaster strikes is an example of gross incompetence.
San Jose wins.
Yeah Dorion really messed up with this trade. They could've had a bunch more picks instead of basically negative value.
