Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

Not sure why at the start of the offseaosn people were optimistically saying "Cant say its a bad offseason, need to wait till it all plays out". With Holland I took that comment in completely the opposite way. That is a scary thing to think about. Holland had the cap space to make some truly terrible moves and seems to be taking full advantage

2 moves were made. One was Keith, one was a nothing player for future considerations.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

And there were other rumors that led to nothing.

But I mean feel free to just spend your time shouting and crying and complaining about every maybe under the sun

Was I really complaining? I was moreso making a joke about our sad state of affairs.

The positivity police are out in full force on a day that has frankly sucked shit.

Sounds like someone is upset that GMs don’t operate like they do in NHL 21

Apparently Boston’s and Seattle’s does though.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That ain't great.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Oh f***.

I domt care what anyone says anymore, of the oilers loose larrsson, deal for Keith amd sign Hyman to an 8 year deal In a weeks time Kevin lowe is still running this team behind closed doors. There is no other excuse any more. We have gone thru 4 or 5 gms since Lowe and have continued to make seriously braindead moves that put us a step backwards

I'm close to wanting Kevin Lowe back as the GM depending how these next few weeks go

 

[CycloneSweep]

I'd like to know who the some are?

 

[bobbythebrain]

If Holland signs an 8year deal to Hyman, it's gonna be really hard admitting one is an Oiler fan

 

[AddyTheWrath]

There are more rumors than trades, and you're going to drive yourself batty thinking like this.

Go ahead, I'll just think you're being a fatalist.

Fair enough, but this isn't the first time Hyman has been reported, and it isn't even the first time a sign and trade has been suggested.

A Hyman overpay seems guaranteed at this point. I'd rather set myself up for failure than expect the best and be crushed. I already did that with Larsson and Keith.

 

[TheNumber4]

Then it tells you that Adam Larsson had zero interest in remaining an Oiler. Enjoy Seattle.

Or it shows how bad Holland is at negotiating and getting deals signed and delivered. Your speculating on Larson’s thoughts and feelings. I’m basing my assessment on what actually happened, a failed and missed signing is what actually happened.

Now this is a Hyman rumor that is both sensible enough to be plausible and entirely terrifying.

I wouldn't say positivity police.
More, complain about shit that happens there is enough to complain about. Complaining about things that happened years ago or haven't even happened is just too much

 

[Aceboogie]

I honestly can't believe how many people are seemingly taking it seriously. This thread is always high level crazy but it's blowing my mind right now.

Uh, when the rumors about Keith were heating up, people thought Keith retained for Koskinen and Jones was a bad trade. It ended up being worse

With Holland I am fully expecting 8 years at 6 mil. 4 years at 5 mil is the max that would be a good offer to be clear

[FlameChampion]

Some ppl reporting less than 5 aav. Dreger essentially saying 6 aav. People all over the place.

Okay, so we know Holland offered more money. What would you have done better?

 

[Kirby]

If the contract value is accurate, an 8 year deal lowers the AAV to $5M/season (assuming $40M is the number).

Right on, I choose not to set myself up for failure. Trick is to not allow yourself to be crushed.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Now this is a Hyman rumor that is both sensible enough to be plausible and entirely terrifying.

I just don't know how anyone thinks a sub 50 point guy getting 6 mill is even plausible.

I think with this one...and I'm hoping... Is just Toronto media being ridiculous.

 

[Del Preston]

I liked it better when we couldn't afford to throw money at UFAs.

 

[Aceboogie]

2 moves were made. One was Keith, one was a nothing player for future considerations.

And the next one on deck is 8 years for Hyman

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

That ain't great.

Stop believing every twitter post lol..good lord.

 

[CycloneSweep]

And the next one on deck is 8 years for Hyman

Has anyone actually said that?
No

Most are saying 5/6 years, Dreger said maybe 7. And a Toronto guy was saying a sign and trade could allow for 8. No one has at all said Hyman for 8 years so please have a freak out over it

 

[5 14 6 1]

The only solace is Dreger is almost always wrong!

Ever since Nonis left hes had zero sources.
