Now that the Shea Weber issue is settled, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton can prepare for the draft and the upcoming season, but there are still a few thorny issues with the Habs.
Starting with Mike Hoffman. Acquired last summer by Marc Bergevin as a free agent, the forward didn't really live up to expectations as he had a very disappointing season with 35 points, including 15 goals, in 67 games.
The 32-year-old Hoffman will be in his second year of his contract next season, with a salary of $4.5 million per year, and there is reportedly interest in him across the NHL.
If that's the case, let's just say that the Habs shouldn't wait too long before shipping him off to other countries, because if he had a bad start to the season, his value would only go down and the Habs would be stuck with a hot potato.
