A Vegas Reporter and Insider Has Expressed That The Team Has Interest in Mike Hoffman

According to information reported by a journalist in Vegas, the Golden Knights could have one of the Canadiens' top scorers in their sights.

Indeed, the name of Mike Hoffman stands out in the environment of the city of vice.

It must be said that the number 68 of the CH had a slow start, but he seems to pick up in the last few weeks. Since he was paired with two hard-working players like Christian Dvorak and Brendan Gallagher, Hoffman was playing very good field hockey.

Unfortunately for the Tricolore, he was injured during last Saturday's game against the Flyers. The 32 year old forward was supposed to undergo a medical evaluation yesterday, so we will know very soon the extent of his injury.

To my surprise, the reporter says that the fact that Mike Hoffman has a slightly longer contract could help the Golden Knights for a few years. In other words, if Hoffman's default in Montreal is to have another year of contract for next season, it would be an advantage in the eyes of the journalist for the Nevada team.

It must be said that if Vegas has a real interest in him, if the offer is reasonable, Montreal should not hesitate.

On the other hand, considering the congestion of the Knights' payroll, it seems very complex to build a transaction involving Hoffman and his $4.5M contract. But who knows, Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon has already worked some magic with his payroll to accommodate big contracts.

This is a case to watch.
