For those who haven’t heard, Mike Hoffman is on the market.
A fifth-round draft selection in 2009, Hoffman was a steal by any metric in his 2014-15 rookie campaign. He produced 27 goals and 48 points, putting him on the radar for the Calder Trophy (and likely only falling to sixth in voting due to his age).
He earned a one-year bridge deal in the summer of 2015 to prove to the Senators that he could repeat his performance, then earned a four-year, $20.75 million follow-up contract in 2016 after he hit 29 goals and 59 points in his sophomore campaign.
