Hoffman traded twice in one day after Karlsson cyberbullying allegations
Following last week’s explosive revelations concerning his partner’s alleged cyberbullying of Ottawa captain Erik Karlsson’s wife, it was hard to envision a scenario where Senators forward Mike Hoffman could remain in the nation’s capital.
The expected script played out with one trade Tuesday before a further twist added to the saga.
Hours after the Senators dealt Hoffman to San Jose in a swap that included four players and two draft picks, the Sharks flipped the 28-year-old to the Florida Panthers.
Ottawa’s Atlantic Division rival sent a 2019 second-round pick and fourth- and fifth-round selections in this week’s draft to the Sharks for Hoffman and a 2018 seventh-round pick.
