The NHL offseason is currently in full swing and there is still plenty of time remaining for the Winnipeg Jets to pack-a-punch.

The Winnipeg Jets have had a relatively quiet off season thus far. With only a few underwhelming UFA signings under Kevin Cheveldayoff's belt, there's still some hope remaining for the team to make an impactful signing before the regular season. Could Mike Hoffman be the answer fans are seeking?
This 34-year old Kitchener, Ontario resident. While Hoffman may no longer be a 25+ goal scorer like he was during his time with the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers, he still provides a very solid bottom 6 utility role.

Hoffman has played on some not so good teams over the past 4 seasons, so I suspect that he would like to join a team that at least has playoff expectations for the 2024-25 season. With the right linemates, Hoffman could regain some of his old scoring touch, all while providing an overall two-way play style on the Jets bottom 6 forwards group.

Mike Hoffman is the perfect combination of experience, size, and skill. Hoffman also possesses strong leadership qualities which would benefit the young prospects in the Jets locker room.
There is a strong possibility Hoffman will remained unsigned heading into training camp, and theres absolutely no reason why the Jets shouldn't consider offering Hoffman a PTO if the situation arises.
