It has nothing to do with culture, more to do with fit. Hyman had hands for stones here in Toronto. What he’s doing is amazing but that was never going to happen in Toronto. His game perfectly compliments McDavid. McDavid is a pass first guy and shoots for rebounds tips.Great generic response.
Feel free to elaborate on the list of players elevating their game after arriving in Toronto. The list of players that start sucking shortly after their arrival is basically every 1st pick we trade away under Dubas. The list of players having the best year of their life the moment they leave is basically every player we traded away.
But sure, some play better some play worse.. Nothing wrong with culture here
Hyman cannot finish a skilled play that Marner sets up. How many times was he wide open after an amazing play, surprised the puck got to him and was late to react/shoot and he Whiffs or goalie saves.
Matthews/Marner don’t shoot for tips and rebounds so Hyman would not have gotten the same scoring opportunities.
The one guy the Leafs let get away was Bunting. He was the perfect fit along side Matthews and Marner and we let him go.
