Sandy's right about where Hoffman fits... IMO the 13th forward. That's if he isn't beaten out by guys that are hungrier once again at camp.
I think it's fair to say we won't even know who the top six are until we are well on our way through the main camp and pre-season. Hoffman is on the bubble to be in the top-nine, don't forget about Lazar and Puemple. And if he's not in the top-nine he's not in the lineup since he'd be wasted on the 4th line.
