yeah, I think the "puppet theory" is so strong that people feel they can't simply talk about Hughes as GM.

Hughes pretty much confirmed that it's Jeff Petry's wife that wants out

Hoffman can still play.
Petry's contract is a bit more complicated to move now.

and the way he's playing is his way of rebelling against her

I guess Hoffman could've been traded, considering there were so few potential "top 6" forwards being moved around.

Nobody wants Hoffman's wife.

From what I recall, it was about the covid measure/restrictions and their decision to have the family stay in Michigan because of it.

I just think it is past the point of going back, so it is what it is... will see what happens over the summer.

perhaps it didn't even have anything to do with the restrictions, whatever it is they can have their own personal reasons and that's fine. but hockey-wise it just isn't looking good right now...

You can't win the stanley cup on trade deadline day, buy you sure can lose it. And boy oh boy I've never seen a team lose as bad as montreal has today. A loss this big may have set then back years, if not decades.
