CHI declines.

Armia and Hoffman both have zero trade value. Armia probably takes a 2nd to move; Hoffman takes a 3rd. Which Habs won't offer in either case. So they both stay unless Montreal buys them out.

Armia takes a sixth at max. He has a 33k buyout. Hoffman doesn’t need anything and will probably get a fourth at deadline 50% retained

To be fair this site's GM's been proven wrong a lot the last couple days
I mean i didnt think Hayes had value even at 50% RS as he's someone who his coach called out publicly for Effort/Attitude
I was shocked to see he got a return today

My point is you're wrong
While Armia hasnt been healthy since re-signing and will be hard to move
Hoffmans main stigma is fans are mad at him because his wife's a **** and he didnt leave her basically.
GM's keep re-signing him with Term and until that stops,evaluation on his talent that isnt based on the On Ice Play of Hoffman should be ignored.
Clearly they dont put much stock in it and until they do i wont either
If they were his actions thats different but anyone married knows you dont cancel your marriage over a social media spat.

Hoffmans evaluations on here are never hockey based.
That said Armia's is a almost fair assessment most times

Even if its only a 2nd I would not pay for Hoffman

Armia's cap hit for this year is $33k. Over $1m next 3 years and costs $5.7m in real dollars to buy out. No GM is taking that for a 6th. There was no retention in the OP trade. Hoffman at his full salary and cap hit is a cap dump. Otherwise he'd be gone by now.

Didn’t realise it was only for this year. 1 million is still pretty cheap so a fourth should do it. Trading Hoffman at full salary would be a mistake. We have cap space to spend
