I don't disagree with you at all about the Robinson/Bemstrom/Stenlund move...but have been thinking about this for awhile now.
I am 50/50 on Hoffman, as he does put up some very good scoring numbers, and he makes quite a bit of money...but he seems to be like Duclair (who makes quite a bit less, and probably should be making more $$$ based on his production).
No team seems to want to commit to Hoffman (or Duclair).
The Jackets initially were going to take a position to let the young guns play and develop (Texier, Bemstrom, Stenlund, etc.)
I think they realized they need more experience and consistent scoring...but they couldn't land Hall, who I think was their main (and only) target.
By signing Koivu, this signifies that they probably are done in UFA signings.
The Grigorenko signing also limits spaces for others.
AGMs have moved away from slotting Foudy in the lineup for 2020-21.
Personally, if it were up to me, between the 3: Foudy would be the best option playing, followed by Bemstrom #2, and Robinson #3.
