Re: [Signing] Hoffman to MTL
There was a lot of "odd" evidence produced and I think it was just such a low level bit of harassment the legal system just ignored it.
Hoffman's gf/fiance/wife got an IT guy to look at anonymous posts on a forum where a lot of negative comments were coming from one user towards Melinda and Erik Karlsson and he said the IP addresses didn't match the ones Hoffman's gf used. Mike Hoffman tried to supply the 'report' to Karlsson but he wouldn't have it.
The IT guy was asked if he was paid to give the report and his findings by Hoffman's and he wouldn't say (bias reporting).
It's such a she said/ she said situation, where it wasn't worth the time to figure it out once players were traded away. It's not hard to get a VPN to change IP addresses, especially when people who travel a lot do it for Netflix.
There was wives from other teams emailing Hoffman's gf telling her to stop harassing Melinda Karlsson. And apparently Hoffmans gf wanted to send flowers to Karlsson after the miscarriage news came out and she asked another players wife if she could and the players wife was like "wtf, no you can't hate someone and do that, it's so 2-faced". So multiple people thought pre-miscarriage harassment something was going on. But Hoffman's gf pleads she doesn't know why Melinda Karlsson would just hate her. But does say she thought she just started hating her because Melinda Karlsson randomly stopped liking her instagram posts, and stopped inviting her to Hockey Wives dinners.
To me, it was children bickering back and forth, and it was just 2 women who didn't like each other. Mike Hoffman and Erik Karlsson had nothing to do with the hate, but did grow to hate each other based on how the others significant other treated their partner.
Long way to say, I don't think Mike Hoffman in a new locker room really matters. It's the sig-other that would have a tough time amalgamating to the likely tight knit group of women.
