The guy can score from distance, his shot is elite. If you signed him to a 3-year deal, you’d probably wouldn’t regret it.
Don’t sign anyone in the first week of free agency, as a general rule. I know we could possibly replace Johnny and get a goalie this time out, so it is different.
When the prize is James Neal or Troy Brouwer, someone needs to have the balls to say to Brad “that’s not a prize.”

Neal hadn’t missed 20 goals in his career before Calgary - 10 years.
That said, Hoffman has speed, which I think this team needs badly. Neal did not.
