You have a career 50pt center vs a 55pt winger. Centers are worth more, however Hoffman has an extra year on his contract ($5.1M) which is valuable.
I'm willing to bet that their returns are going to be very similar. Hoffman might return a little less if Ottawa doesn't retain.

Not saying we should or shouldn't trade for him, but Calgary's offer would need to resemble:
Hoffman (no retention) for 2nd,3rd, Kylington

Done and done. if that were the realistic price tag. I mean it's not way off but the prospect would probably be one of the better ones. Talking Andersson/Fox.
