Hoffman will cost $6M to $6.5M and will get 4 to 5 years.

Value aside, don't like the CBJ trade. Korpisalo can easily walk in 2 years whereas Debrincat is a RFA at 25 years old basically the acquiring team has full control of his career. Anderson and a 2nd may be okay value wise to offset it but this could literally backfire bigtime on the Hawks.

As a CBJ fan, I'm into this idea.

Same principle as the Panarin trade a few years back. Not sure how I feel about it

This reminds me of the Panarin trade and I don’t like it.

Wanted to give Hoffman more money for less term so he's off the books the big year of Dach, Kubalik, Boqvist, Korpisalo extensions

This is more value back than what we got for Panarin and Debrincat is a lesser player than Panarin was in Chicago

Exactly what I was thinking. You guys get a solid player that can play both ends of the pick that will be overplayed most likely and a goalie that is actually very good this time. For a breakout stud.
So step up and swing Stan. Right up your alley

Panarin was much older, but we are getting more value back in this deal. Still wouldn’t do it.
