Habs Sign Mike Hoffman - 3 x $4.5m

Hoiles said:
Yeah, this means there’s at most one slot left to sign either Perry or a veteran C to replace Danault, but not both, unless they get rid of Drouin or something. Does this also mean that the much-needed QB PP D is off the shopping list?

The fact MB voluntarily brought up Norlinder at the PC tells me they’ll evaluate him first
 
Hoffman is Toffoli 2.0 is he not? Last year they wanted Hoffman, he signed in St. Louis so they got Toffoli. Now they have both. He’ll provide an offensive boost, particularly on the power play, just give him a defensively responsible winger. The question is who’s his center: KK or is there someone’s else they can bring in? Maybe use Drouin in a package for a second line center.

Yes, KK.
 
He's not done yet. There's at least one more move coming and I don't mean Perry.

Toffoli can't skate, Hoffman can. I think the team picked up some speed at the very least.
 
Toffoli can skate, just not very fast. Maybe Toffoli can workout with KK this summer, both of them can work on improving their skating together.

Not necessarily, the team has 4 young Cs surrounded by experienced W

Suzuki-KK-Evans-Poehling

Unless he’s dealt in the off-season or bombs in training camp, Poehling’s in the lineup for the season opener at C IMO

St.Louis did one year and then were nope.

We'll regret this. But every team is desperate for scoring so he'll be moveable.

STL also don’t have much cap maneuverability since they haven’t been able to offload Tarasenko - $13M w 18-players and Parayko UFA next summer

They had some interest in Dvorak out of Arizona, if they have a puck moving defenceman of interest, get a deal done and filling 2 holes with one trade. Or sign Quinn Hughes to a qualifying offer. 😎
