TSN: Pierre LeBrun notes that three weeks into NHL free agency the top unrestricted free agent goal scorer remains available – Mike Hoffman. Hoffman’s agent, Rob Hooper, said that they are “very patient” when asked how long they’d be willing to wait.
“They think teams are eventually going to circle back and make the kind of offers that their client should be getting. And part of that is some teams finding cap room.
Now, I think there are some LTIR situations that could come into play here, eventually closer to December or January.
