At the Montreal Canadiens, several names are likely to leave the team by March 3rd and one of them could possibly be Mike Hoffman. If there is one certainty in the Tricolore, it is that Kent Hughes wants to trade Hoffman by the trade deadline, without having to pay or withhold salary to move him. If the 33 year old veteran's performances were not really convincing since the beginning of the season, in the last few games, they are much more interesting for a team that wants to add an offensive punch at low cost. Despite his $4.5M per year salary for yet another season, it would appear that Hoffman's value is on the rise.
