Journalist links Mike Hoffman to Las Vegas Golden Knights

I am not at all a believer. You all have the right to your beliefs, but I don’t. On the other hand, if Kent Hughes manages to find a taker for Mike Hoffman and that as a bonus, he gets something drinkable in return, I will perhaps consider that there is a force superior to my little person who likes the Montreal Canadian.

Besides, I always give a little more credibility to information that affects the CH when it does not come from Montreal and this is the case today with this story. It was Vegas Hockey Now journalist Owen Krepps who made the connection between Hoffman and the Golden Knights. According to him, if Kelly McCrimmon manages to free herself from Laurent Brossoit’s contract, the Golden Knights organization might find themselves looking for a striker who can provide a touch of attacking support to the team’s big guns.

For him, the fact that the striker from Kitchener is not just a rental would also be a plus in the equation. As long as you acquire a guy to fix a problem, you don’t necessarily want him to leave a few weeks later. In addition, Mike Hoffman would not be completely a stranger to Vegas since he would find there his former teammate with the Ottawa Senators, Mark Stone.

Since arriving in Montreal, Mike Hoffman has made me conjure up all the church words I know…several times! So if it has any market value and Kent Hughes finds a way to pull off the impossible, it’s going to clean up my language and just for that, it would be a good idea for it to come to fruition.

As a reminder, Mike Hoffman gets a salary of $4.5 million per year and is under contract for another season. This year, he has 5 goals and 3 assists in 16 games, one point more than Josh Anderson in two fewer games.

So, did I really just brag Mike Hoffman on the back of Josh Anderson?

It looks like yes!

Going back to Krepps, he also mentions other names to fill the attacking needs of the Knights. Among the six names raised, in addition to Hoffman, we find Bo Horvat, Max Domi, Gustav Nyquist, Jesse Puljujarvi and Kasperi Kapanen. But really, the best solution, by far, for Vegas would be Mike Hoffman. And I absolutely do not say that to try to convince Kelly McCrimmon. Come on, that wouldn’t be my style at all!

Pranks aside, outside of Bo Horvat we’re talking regarding guys here who are all big question marks and since the Canucks captain will be a free agent at the end of the season he really would be a rental player which might limit the Knights’ interest in him. But it’s worth what it’s worth…
