There is speculation of a trade between the Montreal Canadiens and Arizona Coyotes involving Mike Hoffman this summer
Since his arrival with the Habs, Mike Hoffman has had more lows than highs.
Even if his numbers are not that bad, we must say that his performances have not been up to the contract that Marc Bergevin offered him in the summer of 2021.
We remember that the forward had agreed on the terms of a three-year deal for an annual salary of $4.5 million.
Let's just say that his contract may very well have cooled off some NHL teams that wanted to add depth to their lineup for the playoffs. But with only one year left on his contract at the end of the season, one team could very well acquire him, and that is the Arizona Coyotes.
Hoffman with the Arizona Coyotes?
Yep, again the same team that has a reputation for going after big contracts in order to hit the salary floor, but it would seem that this is not the case when it comes to the Habs forward.
At least that's the opinion of Louis Robitaille, the head coach of the Gatineau Olympiques, when he appeared on La Poche Bleue at lunchtime last Monday.
That's what could be interesting for, not only Hoffman, but also the Coyotes, who aren't that far away from being a competitive team, if Maxim Lapierre's words are any indication.
Okay, so we're still a long way from that scenario, but a change of scenery could be beneficial for the Habs' #68 and he'd likely have a bigger role in Arizona than in Montreal.
