243/430 career points for Hoffman come on PP for 49.5% of his production
On a team that for MTL was Historically the worst in 110+ years
13/35 pts came on PP for 37% PP Production
RS for Hoffman at 2.25m and MTL still shaves 2.25m cap
Plus they can now package Hoffman to any number of teams with a good PP needing depth.
EDM could do a deal for Puljujarvi getting paid to switch a 36 pts player for a 35 pts player leaving their roster 750K less heavy
Plus unlike Puljujarvi they can rely on Hoffman to produce on PP 2 consistently even in his worst years he'll put up what others would call career PP numbers(look it up)
COL could do any number of deals depending on the direction
Given what they lost on PP a cheap option like Hoffman makes sense.
Maybe a deal for Erik Johnson to come to MTL getting MTL a Prospect and a pick ?
FLA makes some sense given the loss of Huberdeau fand Marchment rom a special teams POV
CGY in a deal for Monahan maybe so he can play beside Dach
ANA maybe since they seem to be adding surpringly outta no where with Klingberg after letting Milano and Steel walk with no QO its really hard to say what they're doing .
My point is Cap Strapped teams are willing to make moves for players still producing
True Capdumps are like Beagal , Rousel , Ladd, Backes, ext
That said teams like VGJ F themselves into situations where they have to dump players regardless of skill
They dumped the reigning Vezina Winner for Cap space, they dumped Pacioretty with 45pts/47 games actually paying to do so
It all comes back to "Everyone has a price"
Even burden's like Perry in ANA his last few years
Suddenly he's valuable again now that his pay isnt more then his production
