Mike Hoffman shouldn’t have any issues finding a suitor by the trade deadline. In the first of a 3 year deal at a $4.5 million cap hit and no trade restrictions, expect a few teams, contenders or not, to give Kent Hughes a call and see if they can snag Hoffman in order to get some secondary scoring.

Despite starting the season on the injury list, Hoffman has come as advertised amassing 7 goals and 14 points in 30 games. Injuries have become a concern with Hoffman being in his age 32 season but when healthy, he can easily give a team 20 goals if paired with the right linemates.

Hoffman should fetch a depth NHL player with salary and a second round pick.

Potential Suitors: Los Angeles, San Jose, Rangers, Islanders
