NHL transactions continue as Mike Hoffman signs PTO with Blues, and Lightning trade two for cap space

The activity in the NHL continued late yesterday and more is expected in the coming days before camps open.

NHL Transactions: Blues sign Mike Hoffman to a PTO

When news broke across the wire that Mike Hoffman signed a PTO and not a pro contract with an NHL team, there was some initial head scratching. At first, I thought this was him saying, “I’ll show up and earn a multi-year deal”, but then more information started to pour in.

Apparently, as many reported, there should be a deal forthcoming with the Blues on day one of the season.
