Hofmann Exits Blue Jackets, Permanently, By Suspension- Sad To See Him Leave
If you're surprised, I'm right there with you. Gregory Hofmann reportedly left the club, briefly, to sort out some personal matters. However, the club was told today, by Hofmann, that he has no plans to return.
Quote from Kekalainen: "Gregory was given permission by the club to step away for personal reasons and informed us today that because of those reasons he has decided not to return. Obviously, we are disappointed, but we have no other recourse than to suspend him." (https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/columbus-blue-jackets-suspend-f-gregory-hofmann/c-329653294)
It's a surprising turn of events for a Offensive player who had been in 24 total NHL games this season, with the Blue Jackets, and gifted the team with some incredible skill. Out of 7 total points in this 2021-22 NHL season, Hofmann had 2 goals, with 5 memorable assists. Impressive, considering he'd never left the NLA after 11 seasons on the Hurricanes radar, prior to becoming a Blue Jacket. He inked a 1 year contract deal with the Blue Jackets, but sadly half way through, that has now been suspended. I wish him the very best on whatever his next chapter may be.
