I would trade Brodie to bring in Hoffman, straight across. I think to win a cup, you need a goalie, you need to score, and you need a couple horses who can play 25 minutes while the other four guys scrap and claw their way to the next shift.

In the playoffs, you need offensive weapons. The deeper a team goes, the better all teams get defensively anyway. You need players that can put the puck in the net. The margin of victory is likely to be one goal - you need as many options to get that one goal as you can.

It would suck to see Brodie go, but for a 30 goal scorer, under contract, you can plug in on any of the top three lines?

Do it.

Not sure I would give up Brodie for him. Maybe a package deal. Hoffman has also never scored 30 goals in a season.
