Hoffman is tempting though you have to admit...
On a bad Sens team he has 11 G / 18 A / 29 PTS / 42 GP / 58 point pace with just 22 goals which would be a low for him but if he was put into a situation like Calgary there is a high probability that he could gain another 5 or so goals to bring him back up to his last 3 year average.
27 G / 21 A / 48 PTS / 79 GP +16
29 G / 30 A / 59 PTS / 78 GP +1
26 G / 35 A / 61 PTS / 74 GP +17
11 G / 18 A / 29 PTS / 42 GP -9
I think he has at least another 3 to 4 years of 25 goal seasons in him and his above stat lines show that he has been steadily improving each year and while not improving this year he's sticking close to his previous 3 year totals on a terribly inconsistent Sens team. He's like a winger Monahan lite and there is nothing bad about having a guy like him join the team... but to me it wouldn't just have to see a guy like Brodie dealt but we would have to move a guy like Frolik too up front to allow the space.. I just don't see Treliving doing anything major at this point with how the guys are rolling and knowing that some injuries are going to come back into the line-up after the all-star break.
