Thread: Hoffman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>1) Florida is looking to be as competitive as possible this year, they’re not looking to trade away one of their top forwards

2) Thats a hefty underpayment

3) if he were on the team, he would be 1st/2nd line, dude is an absolute sniper</div></div>

The Panthers have roughly $20m in cap space and if they land both Panarin and Bob that's going to cost them about $17m of that $20m in space and they'd still need to get 4 more forwards and 2 more D under contract. Hoffman only has 1 year remaining and if they feel they can't get him signed then he's a likely choice to move. I also realize value for value, he's better than Rubstov and Hagg, but values change when a team is desperate to create cap space. So if FL does trade him for that reason their fans shouldn't expect to be overly thrilled with the return.

As far as placing in the lineup, Any of those top 3 RW would be interchangable IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>And thats very true, I actually find it hard to believe they will be able to move them, but u know there will be one team out there below the floor and if the Leafs offer a good draft pick or prospect to entice them, they just may.

However, offer sheets don't happen, and until they start happening with regularity, I can't depend on them. Sure I would, you would, a bunch of people would, but all that matters is if Fletcher would. And GM's don't do it. So if they get his rights, boom, we sign him.

Another point, don't you think other teams out there, if all the sudden offer sheet start being thrown around, someone may offer more than 4? Im just saying, if you identify a guy you want, go get him.

It may be an overpay, but not a massive one. Maybe switch sandstrom for another propsect? Just make it hagg and a first? Hagg and a third? what would you think would be fair?</div></div>

I do think we see at least one off sheet this summer. Is the the Flyers for Kapanen? Or that Flyers at all? Who knows, but with so many really good RFA's and so many teams with a lot of cap space, I think it happens. Maybe someone would step up and offer Kapanen $5m, but I also think if the Flyers really wanted him and offered him $4m on July 1 he'd sign it. He grew up in the area.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Well, my thinking is Id rather have him than not. And if we go that route, its not 100% Toronto doesn't match, they are looking to get rid of players like Marleau, Kadri, Zaitsev, and are letting other UFA's walk. If they pull off those moves, they could have room for those 2. If you want to guarantee yourself a talent like Kapanen, then you have to give up something. Trading Hagg also frees up 1.5 mil on cap space and lets be honest, if our dmen take that next step, we may lose him for nothing either. We don't need Sandstrom with Hart and Ustimenko and Tomek in the system, and yeah maybe a first is too much. But that first guarantees you Kapanen.</div></div>

I get that, but even if you're trading for him instead of gambling on an offersheet, I think that's way too much. The Leafs have huge cap problems. I know they want to trade Marleau and Zaitsev which will help them, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to trade those guys. They very well could be stuck with them. I don't see many teams bending over backwards to help the Leafs unless they're getting the better end of the deal themselves.
