all Hoffman costs is money

Not sure plethora is the right word when taking all the contract, giving up a better pick and sending back no cap is the criteria.

LA and NJ weren't cap teams this season and, probably, won't increase spending next season.

So reports are almost half the league is operating on a reduced budget for next season, meaning any cap dump is going to cost a killing. To be a team with space this season is going to be very profitable. But they have to be smart as well. Look at Ottawa, sure they have space but they also have a budget and a cheap owner, they won't be helping much. Getting rid of cap space is going to be incredibly costly. Leddy is a cap dump, so is Boychuck (although using a 1st is what you'll have to do). Now how many teams are also cutting costs? 15 other teams? If not more. If I am a GM with space, I am either asking for the moon, or I am just not helping anyone and then preying on teams that can't afford their high value RFA's.

If Leddy is a cap dump, then so is johnson, kerfoot, and holl

Change the Leddy deal to Leddy for a 2021 7th rounder and you have a deal.

Players making 3ish million that play middle 6 are not cap dumps....I know you got mad but be realistic...Leddy is an ok defenseman but makes too much...more of a cap casualty...but in these times it's basically a cap dump
