A trade is requested for Mike Hoffman

For the past few weeks, many experts and fans have been calling for a trade involving forward Mike Hoffman.

With the large surplus of forwards, and with the youngsters growing, it seems inevitable to eventually get a veteran forward out of the lineup (via waivers or via a trade), but Kent Hughes has always mentioned that he doesn't want to lose a player without receiving anything in exchange.

With forward Mike Hoffman's stellar performance yesterday, scoring two goals on five shots in Detroit, many observers are wondering if this could have a positive impact on his trade value.




With a first round pick, he's obviously exaggerating, but we understand the principle, especially since there were some interesting scouts in the stands yesterday.

Many fans are still calling for a trade involving Mike Hoffman, but as Pierre LeBrun recently mentioned (on TSN), potentially interested teams were waiting to see "something constructive" on the ice.

Will the performance against the Wings be enough for them?

With yesterday's game, should Kent Hughes go all out to try to trade Hoffman? What do you think his value is on the market?

If Kent Hughes manages to get rid of his contract in exchange for a late draft pick, it would be a great victory. To be continued!
