• Mike Hoffman: Cut from camp

  09/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Edmonton released Hoffman on Monday from his professional tryout agreement. Hoffman generated 10 goals and 23 points in 66 regular-season contests with San Jose in 2023-24. The 34-year-old forward is an unrestricted free agent, but he still has time to sign with another NHL team before the 2024-25 season begins.

• Oilers' Mike Hoffman: Inks PTO

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hoffman signed a professional tryout agreement with the Oilers on Wednesday. At Hoffman's height, he recorded over 50 points in five straight campaigns from 2015-16 through 2019-20. Over the past four seasons, though, Hoffman has failed to reach the 20-goal and 40-point marks. He served in a bottom-six role with the Sharks in 2023-24, providing 10 goals and 23 points across 66 contests. If the 34-year-old makes the Oilers' Opening Night roster, he might go on to average even less ice time in 2024-25 than the 13:44 per game he logged in San Jose.

• Sharks' Mike Hoffman: Out for rest of season

  04/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hoffman will miss the final two games of the season due to an undisclosed injury, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. Hoffman will finish the season having collected 10 goals, 23 points and an ugly minus-21 rating through 66 contests. The 34-year-old winger is set to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he'll likely need to settle for a short-term deal and a bottom-six role in order to see regular NHL time in 2024-25.

• Sharks' Mike Hoffman: Contributes assist

  04/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hoffman produced an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames. Hoffman had been a healthy scratch for the previous two games, but he joined the lineup since Filip Zadina (lower body) was unavailable Tuesday. The helper was Hoffman's first point since March 7 -- he missed eight games with a concussion last month and has struggled to produce offense in a fourth-line role since returning. Overall, the 34-year-old winger has 23 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-21 rating through 66 appearances.
