Let’s admit it right off of the bat - very few Blues fans were expecting to have a discussion about Mike Hoffman returning to the team in June. Honestly, heading into last off-season, no one expected the Blues to kick the tires on Hoffman. Last December, they signed him to a PTO, and he impressed enough at camp to be signed to a one year show me contract worth $4 million. Considering Hoffman was a player whose lowest goal total over the previous five seasons was 22 (and who just came off of back to back seasons with the Panthers where he scored 29 and 36 goals), he didn’t strike anyone as a liability.
