Eleven Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 The big plus from that trade is the young defender Ottawa got. Button said the trade was essentially Hoffman for Boedker. He also said that Ottawa got fifty cents on the dollar: https://www.tsn.ca/senators-trade-hoffman-to-sharks-1.1116853 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I didn't think about that either, I don't know any of the prospects involved. So who looks dumb here? Or does it all make sense for everyone? I'm going to bet Ottawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 So, this was mostly a salary move by San Jose? Looks like it. They now have about $11M in cap space and a ton of picks. Something something Tavares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 If Hoffman moves again then I am going to think that the GMs are sending him a message. Let's just shuffle Hoffman around the league until he gets dizzy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Frank SeravalliVerified account @frank_seravalli 6m6 minutes agoMore Pretty good day for Doug Wilson. He gets rid of Mikkel Boedker and trades a 6th round pick in exchange for a 2nd, a 4th and two 5th round picks, plus $4 million in cap space and $6 million in real salary savings. #sjsharks I would note this tweet ignores the decent defensive prospect they gave up too.

IKnowPhysics Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Nice. Prospects aside, Ottawa eats a big salary dump to get Hoffman away from them in the West, then SJ turns right around and dumps Hoffman and his salary back into the Northeast Division.

Thwomp! Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Ottawa probably didn't want to trade Hoffman within the division, so San Jose did it for them. Love this deal for the Sharks. Yeah they had to give up a solid D prospect, but they got a boatload of draft capital and cleared a bunch of cap. Can't wait for the Sabres to make some deals. I like the Fasching deal, but this has me hungry for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) I can't tell if Ottawa or Florida is dumber. Nice.

Chris JohnstonVerified account @reporterchris 9m9 minutes ago More Dale Tallon says Ottawa contacted him last week about acquiring Mike Hoffman but the price was too high. Then San Jose phoned him last night. Reply Direct message Chris JohnstonVerified account @reporterchris 4m4 minutes ago More Ottawa was interested in making a trade involving players with Florida, according to Dale Tallon. He never offered the package of picks to the #sens that he ended up sending to San Jose. Edited June 19, 2018 by Skurk Liger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 San Jose wants cap space. Ottawa needs players. Florida doesn't want to give up players. That's how it works. Perfect. If Hoffman proves to not be toxic in Florida then it's a good add for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I saw this one somewhere else. Can someone explain this to me?

That Aud Smell Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 ^ Yeah - I am sure he's just busting chops. His Twitter profile appears to feature a cartoon depicting the Sabres playing the Red Army (?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 He's ours and buried in the minors. I mean, he will technically have to go through waivers again right? Who thinks Moulson goes to Ottawa so they can hit the salary floor? Might get a 7th round pick for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Who thinks Moulson goes to Ottawa so they can hit the salary floor? This sounds about right What's going on with Moulson?

Thwomp! Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 The 11th commandment that broke off the other stone tablets: "Thou shalt not trade within thy own division" Kinda bummed that the 3 best recent and current trading partners in the NHL are in our own division.
