Finally, a transaction involving Mike Hoffman announced? An offer has just seriously surfaced
In the last few hours, there has been a renewed sense of hope among Montreal Canadiens observers regarding a possible trade involving Mike Hoffman, who no longer has a significant role within Martin St-Louis' squad.
In the last few minutes, Sportsnet informant Elliotte Friedman mentioned that the New York Islanders are actively seeking to acquire a goal scorer, a player with a strong shot (before the start of the season).
Attempts with Alex DeBrincat, Pierre-Luc Dubois, or Vladimir Tarasenko didn't work out, so they will have to look elsewhere.
A name that has just been linked to them, whose greatest strength is "putting the puck in the net," is Mike Hoffman. He has a powerful shot, and that's what they want.
Given this, here is the proposed trade offer that has been circulating a lot:
"To NEW YORK (Islanders):
Mike Hoffman
2024 5th round pick
To MONTREAL:
Future considerations
$4.5 million freed up in the salary cap"
And this allows a young player to take his place. Would you do it?
