After a blockbuster season, leading the team in goals, Mike Hoffman‘s contract is a little bit surprising coming from an arbitration meeting. Hoffman’s self-valuation was $3.4 million, not an unreasonable sum. The Senators came to the table offering $1.75 million, a bit under. Arbitration reached a one year deal at $2 million. Some interesting numbers for a powerhouse of a season.
In his fourth season in the NHL, Mike Hoffman netted 27 goals and 21 assists which is a large jump from the previous season which only saw 3 goals in 25 games. Clearly Mike Hoffman is hitting his stride and first thought would be to reward him, no?
