98. Mike Hoffman

Newly acquired left winger Mike Hoffman clocks in at 98 in the NHL’s list, which isn’t so bad for what it’s worth. Hoffman put up 56 points on a gruesome Ottawa Senators squad, and it can only get better from here for the 28-year-old.

Hoffman will have the chance to play with one of two elite centermen next season, whether it’s Aleksander Barkov or Vincent Trocheck. Ultimately, he’s going to be playing next to the best centerman he’s ever played next to in his NHL career.

Expect Hoffman’s point tally to rise from his career-high of 61, which he recorded back in 2016-17 when the Senators made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. My projection for the Canadian-born winger this year is for him to tally north of 69 points. And who’s to say he can’t playing alongside one of Barkov or Trocheck?

In my honest opinion, Hoffman’s value will be somewhere along the lines of Huberdeau’s, and you should select him if you’re in need of a forward in the 9th or 10th round of your draft.
