LGR4GM Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 The problem is if they're in the organization Phil is putting them in the top 9/6 I don't think Baloo will be a Sabre come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I don't think Baloo will be a Sabre come September. I think he pencils in nicely as the 7th D that Guhle and Pilut have to vault over. I also wonder how much of the party boy ways that dogged him in Montreal have carried over. If that's an issue, then he needs to go. He certainly played like a hangover.

LGR4GM Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 More on Hoffman and how he is definitely getting traded. https://www.tsn.ca/hoffman-plummets-on-latest-tsn-trade-bait-board-1.1113819 I think he pencils in nicely as the 7th D that Guhle and Pilut have to vault over. I also wonder how much of the party boy ways that dogged him in Montreal have carried over. If that's an issue, then he needs to go. He certainly played like a hangover. Considering Kane helped that party atmosphere I am sure that impacted his play last year. He's gonna wash out of the NHL if all he does is party. I've basically written him off.

I find it hard to believe Hoffman's girlfriend would say such a thing to Karlsson's wife. There's no proof that was her making that comment on twitter. I'd do a ROR for Hoffman and and pick type of deal... if JBOTs is set on moving ROR... which I think would be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) I find it hard to believe Hoffman's girlfriend would say such a thing to Karlsson's wife. There's no proof that was her making that comment on twitter. He flat out said he wouldn't comment on it, not 'hey no she would never do that' or 'there's no way that's not the kind of person she is', and all of the sudden a bunch of fake accounts suspected of hers, when asked if they're hers, are deleted? And on top of that his agent knew about it since the season ended, the Sens are investigating it, AND Karlsson's wife went for the restraining order. She 1000% did that stuff Edited June 15, 2018 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been an ongoing problem for what appears to have been months, if not years, according to pretty much every hockey spouse in the NHL and the NHL sources who have confirmed that Ottawa and the league have known about the situation.

That’s all I can say.” "Oh , I should probably say something to deny this right? That's what my agent said..." In a subsequent comment, Hoffman said, “There is a 150 per cent chance that my fiancée Monika and I are not involved in any of the accusations that have been pursued (that are) coming our way.” "Nailed it" Edited June 15, 2018 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 No, the Bogo Bunker does not welcome those who would buy him out. If there's anything worse than paying him millions of dollars to not play due to injury, it's paying him millions of dollars to play somewhere else. And paying him for longer. Let’s just let him quietly finish off his last two years here, and then that’s that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I can’t figure out what’s crazier: That the Hoffmans did that stuff and are denying it, or that they didn’t do it and are being falsely accused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when men don't talk things out like men when the wives claws are out. Not sure if its insensitive to say that but meh. Sometimes men have to sort it out instead of hiding behind they're wives skirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 and that might be too simple a statement. If Hoffman had absolutely no idea his wife may have been doing this then he would stand up for her but the whispers have been out there all year so...Liger you're right. It is a cluster F.

IKnowPhysics Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 If anyone knows besides the girl, Hoffman knows. And if the girl did it, and Hoffman knows, he has got to get away from that for the sake of his career. So there's really only one of three things going on: 1) The girl's crazy, did all those things, and has Hoffman convinced she didn't. 2) The girl's crazy, did all those things, and Hoffman's crazy for sticking with that. 3) The girl didn't do it and some crazy fan or something weirder is going on. But by this point, it's just about too late for 1). If I were Hoffman's agent, I would have requested permission to hire a PI on this months ago. Maybe done it without permission just to protect my firm's interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Dreger says it is an outside option for Bozak to stay in Toronto and there is outside interest from other teams. Bozak leaving TOR is interesting, not for Buffalo to acquire just in how TOR will be structured going into next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
