TSN: Pierre LeBrun on TSN said that teams are checking in with the Florida Panthers about winger Mike Hoffman. The Panthers are in a playoff spot and are not shopping players, but they might listen to offers.
“They asked for his 10-team no-trade list in late December, it was submitted and I think at the bottom line with Florida is this they are a high-scoring team, they have young players coming up the pipeline, Owen Tippett comes to mind, who can fill in if they ever dealt Hoffman. The bottom line is Florida needs a defensive addition on the backend.
