Thoughts

I would be scared if the Oilers signed that Hoffman contract. He will be 36 when that contact is over and he's showing signs of starting to slow down. From my perspective you are buying out James Neal's bad contract to potentially have Hoffman's contract on the books. I'd feel much better if it were like a 2 or 3 year deal maybe?

Can people also tell me why Mikko is getting bought out? He had a bad year, the last two years he's been either an average NHL goalie or he's been pretty good. People forget last year he had a .917. I'd run him for one more year personally.

Neal I get, that bum can leave.
