In the last few hours, TVA Sports experts, including Jean-Charles Lajoie, Tony Marinaro, Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre, have discussed two thorny issues with the Montreal Canadiens (Mike Hoffman and Evgeny Dadonov)
It's pretty rare, and we like debates, but on this one they were all unanimous.
All indications are that Kent Hughes is trying to trade them, probably for a pick or a right-handed defenseman, but for now, interest seems quiet on the trade market.
Marinaro and Latendresse, in particular, had a lot to say.
"The more you play them, the more exposed they are because they don't work. They're hot potatoes." - Tony Marinaro
An interesting proposal. JIC added a layer to it:
"Hoffman is a bag of problems, he's a basket of crabs," added Jean-Charles Lajoie. He's on the fourth line and the next step is waivers to send him to Laval." - JiC Lajoie
Do you agree with him? Finally, Max Lapierre also believes that a player like Hoffman is not ideal for the culture in the dressing room:
"Guys like Hoffman, that's not what sells your culture in the locker room. He's a one-dimensional guy, I'm not saying he's a bad guy or a bad player, but to win Stanley Cups, is he the right player?" - Maxim Lapierre
For the details:
Plus, with Joel Armia's impending return to action, it will be really interesting to see what happens to players like Hoffman and Dadonov.
If that was your decision, what would you do?
