The only reason I've ever thought of us being in play for Hoffman is because Oduya is sitting right there as a left handed D. We don't have any big picks, so if Ottawa wants a big piece for Hoffman, what we have is Brodie. And the only was Brodie works is if Oduya is part of what's coming back.
I can't see another player that we can dangle other than Brodie that will get us that return. Gilles, as good as he is, is the the player that pushes the trade over the top, not the centerpiece.
If that doesn't happen, then my guess would be nothing does.
