Well, just a few hours after the departure of long-time defensive center Philip Danault to the Los Angeles Kings, the Montreal Canadiens have already begun to patch that hole in the lineup, inking left winger Mike Hoffman to a three-year deal worth $4.5 million AAV.
A native of Kitchener, Ontario, Hoffman had spent this past season with the St. Louis Blues after being signed to a one-year, $4.5 million deal off a PTO out of training camp.
