In his most recent post, blogger Marc-Olivier Beaudoin discussed the Mike Hoffman case. If no one wants the Montreal Canadiens forward, Beaudoin suggests that Kent Hughes simply buy out his contract. Here is what impact buying out Mike Hoffman's contract would have on the Tricolore's payroll: 2022-23: Impact of $1,166,667 2023-24: Impact of $1,166,667 2024-25: Impact of $1,666,667 2025-26: Impact of $1,666,667 At 32 years old, Hoffman earns $4.5 million per year through 2023-24. He has a meager 28 points in 60 games this season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MOBeaudoin1/status/1515330808718008324'> </a></blockquote></div>
