It's entirely possible Ottawa really likes him and probably do so in no small part because his AAV is 4m but salary is 3m. Poor man's Adam Henrique sounds like replacement level forward. Tallon is saying that Ottawa wanted "players" for Hoffman, and not picks, so pretty obvious that the cap floor is what they had in mind.

I get that they had to trade him but I'm not hating on him until there's legit proof she even did this in the first place and he actually knew.

He knows what she is accused of. Some of it was on social media, I haven't seen any of it, but I am 1000% percent sure that if anything like that was posted on social media, Hoffman knew about it. Even if he doesn't follow his GF's posts, which seems unlikely, I would have to imagine SOMEONE, if not Karlsson himself, would've been like "dude, look what your GF just said". Also, we aren't talking about her being on trial, we're talking about a guy getting traded. "Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply, nor does it even matter whether its true or not. The guy became a huge distraction one way or the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the other players' wives didn't care for her, and quite possibly she's got a screw loose. So it very well could have been that Karlsson's wife made a deduction that it was her, but that she ultimately might be proven to be incorrect. But from Ottawa's standpoint and really the standpoint of any other team, whether the allegations are true doesn't mean anything, much less what Hoffman knew. Hoffman obviously could not stay in Ottawa however it turned out. And other teams were wary of taking the risk of trading for him, which explains why a small market team is where he ended up.

A judge granted an order of protection. I don’t know how the law works in Canada, but I’d imagine there was a good reason for that.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not positive how Canadian law works, but from stuff I've read that's not entirely accurate. Karlsson's wife made a perfunctory albeit sworn written statement of what she believed Hoffman's GF was doing and a judge signed an order that basically set the matter down for further proceedings until after Hoffman's GF was served, which apparently didn't happen. I imagine it will all be a moot point after Hoffman packs up and moves to Florida and once Karlsson is traded. So we really don't know that much at this point and probably never will.

I truthfully don't know anything about who is behind this harassment, but my future wife says she isn't to blame for it and despite that she doesn't like the Karlssons and all the signs point to her being a malignant c....(or maybe not idk) I'm going to stand by her to my own determent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good return on a legit top line scorer. It's entirely possible Ottawa really likes him and probably do so in no small part because his AAV is 4m but salary is 3m. They got rid of a HUGE problem. 30 teams didn't want to touch that with a 10 foot pole, as evidenced by San Jose immediately shipping him off to Florida. If he was that good and Ottawa truly lost out on the deal that badly, San Jose would have kept him. But because he's such an issue, I am sure Ottawa's management is just glad to have gotten something decent in return at all. Literally two or three days ago it was a reasonable expectation that Hoffman's only option would be waivers and Ottawa would lose him for nothing. In respect to what San Jose got for Hoffman by flipping him to Florida, sure, Ottawa didn't get as much as they did, but that's neither here nor there. I'm sure Ottawa didn't know, nor would give two fvcks, what San Jose did/planned to do with Hoffman once they unloaded him. It's not their concern anymore, and they're just relieved that he's gone. The fact that they got Boedker as well is just a bonus. He's a relatively young forward who is capable of potting 40 or so points. The guy played most of his career on sh!tty Phoenix and Colorado. Watch him thrive with the right linemates, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Bottom line is this move for Ottawa keeps their captain happy, so I really don't see how that can be perceived as a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Unless Florida trades Mike Hoffman, I guess we can safely assume they are not interested in Karlsson since he'll obviously never play on a team that has Mike Hoffman on it again...

Yup, you can file FOR a restraining order, i.e. make an application for it. But one doesn't file a restraining order. In any event, IF it was Hoffman's gf doing it, I would be reasonably certain he knew about it. 3 minutes ago, LittleBallofHate said: Unless Florida trades Mike Hoffman, I guess we can safely assume they are not interested in Karlsson since he'll obviously never play on a team that has Mike Hoffman on it again...
