While, like last season, the Montreal Canadiens are expected to complete a few more trades between now and the NHL trade deadline, we took it for granted that Mike Hoffman would not be among the players traded.
Dreger says that, yes, there is interest, and Hoffman could really be traded by the Habs in the coming weeks, but there will not be any overbidding either (especially because of his contract of $4.5M annually for this year, but also for next season)
If he continues to perform and produce like this, Kent Hughes could possibly receive a surprising return, in exchange for Hoffman.
