His PP offense kept him relevant in this league but that's starting to fade away. The buyout is cheap and its addition by substraction.

This is how I feel about like 4 Senators lol, minus any redeeming quality (Zaitsev, Del Zotto, Murray, Tiernay all kinda just suck)

I wonder what happened with Tierney. I really liked him a few years ago and he seems decent, but he's been unnoticeable (or noticeable for bad reasons) in all Sens games I watched this season. At least he's UFA this summer, unlike the three others.

Great post lol


My "unrealistic " Habs proposals were the exact ones that happened at the trade deadline.
But, ok

He used to be a very good 3C, the type of guy who I thought was fine even in a 2C role, good defensively/on the PK, good playmaker but tbh I don’t even know what went wrong for him, he just kinda never found chemistry with people and kept getting worse. His shot has always sucked but it’s more noticeable now when he’s not doing much else. Seems weird to point to that when it was never good even when he was but idk

I noticed hoffman last night, but not for the right reasons. That habs team is very very promising. I felt like Hoffman held his whole line back and dragged them down all game


Who did you notice from the habs last night for the good reasons?

You saw that moment when he just... ignored a better-positioned Caufield on the PP because he wanted to score himself?


Couldn't miss it lol

Nick Suzuki. Nothing insane, but I felt like he kept it simple, was always in the right spot, and played well overall

Very good 2C but unless he has superstar line mates, he is not a 1C on a contender

The only trade you got remotely correct was the Lehkonen trade. You were trying to get Zacha for Allen, Armia, and a fifth round pick. You got one lucky trade and all of a sudden you think you’re god smh

To be fair the Habs are one Josh Bailey away from contention

The best part for the Habs about trading for the one missing piece (Bailey, obviously) is that they could also shore up their defensive depth in the same trade by acquiring future first ballot hall of famer Zdeno Chara

Either you buyout Mike Hoffman in the summer or you punish him by making him play with Ladd & Eriksson in Arizona. That guy needs to be gone next season.


I could see Nashville or LA trading for him as LA wanted another top 6 wing and Nashville could use him

Not the guy I'd look for as a top 6 wing unless they don't want to spend assets

Are you forgetting all the other trades you lumped into each of your ACGMs? Like trading away lesser prospects for Chychrun and trading guys like Hoffman and Armia for good assets? Just because you got a couple of the values correct does not mean you know more than everyone smh

Just ask yourself. Would you trade Barron and a fifth for a guy like Hoffman?
