I dont really understand the hoffman signing as im pretty sure the oilers want puljujarvi in a top 6 role

had the cap space so y not but I completely get what ur saying

Yah I’m also one of these guys that don’t want Hoffman.

understandable. i don't think I would rlly want him either

I just don’t think he is the right guy for McDavid honestly.

I’d rather chiasson on the team then add Hoffman. I don’t see a good spot for him in the line up. Mcdavid doesn’t need him to be productive he’s at his best when he has defensively responsible people like nuge on his wing so he can focus on going beast mode on offence. That’s the underlined reason why I’m hopeful jp can work his way there he’s underrated for defensive play I’ve always seen him as responsible on the full sheet of ice it has less to do with his offensive game which he has the tools to succeed. Maybe Hoffman could be good with Leon however kahun has a long history of playing with Leon so I’d lean towards playing with pre existing chemistry. Now if he’s willing to play a 3rd line role which is doubtful Hoffman turris kass I could see being absolutely deadly 5-5 considering the match ups highly doubt he would be interested in such a role deserves better minutes.
