Karine Hains: Where Does Hoffman Slot in? There’s still a fair way to go before training camp, but as things stand, here’s where I’d like to see Mike Hoffman play at the start of the season.

damn, that's a nice cake, although it wasn't even his birthday

Interesting blog ... it will be interesting to see how Ducharme decides to allocate his available personnel.

He certainly has some nice assets in the top 6 ... what a difference with our top 6 of just a few years ago.

Not sure I'd play Hoffffman with 14-22. You need a decent 2 way forward on that line to cover for both kids.
I expect Drouin to play in the top 6 on the LW... so what's the best fit for him?

Regardless of how this plays out, I am looking forward to KK having 2 of Tifolli, Anderson or Hoffman on his wings.

Time for the kid to show what he can be.

Drouin will be on another team.

I liked Anderson with Suzuki and Caulfield. Anderson was great with his speed alongside the kids. It will be interesting to see where Hoffman goes.

Looking at the roster today, he ain't.

So where do you play him?

i am withholding birthday wishes to a later time


hoffman needs to be with someone who can get him the puck. who best fits that criteria on the habs??

an exquisite read karine!

Yeah, I agree ... and I noticed that Karine didn't make any mention of him either.

There's just no room left for him in the top 6 and paying him all this money to play on the 3rd line doesn't make any sense.

You guys know what I think of Drouin so I'm not going there again.

well, technically Suzuki is a decent 2 way forward...

Meh... he's ok. I'd rather see him push the O than cover for 2 wingers that aren't known for their 2 way playing skills...

Left Wing depth

Drouin
Hoffman
Lek
Perrault(I'd try him at center)
Byron

RW depth

Gally
Goalfield
Toffoli
Anderson
Armia

Decent players to fool around with.

Will be nice to see a decent well balanced top 9.

will be also nice to see Ducharme get the chance to work with a proper training camp and have some time to prepare, instead of being thrown in in the middle of a messed up covid situation lol
