Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

[Seachd]

Or

Let me stop you right there. This is as far as you can get before it all goes off the rails.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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.

Yell at any clouds recently?

 

[CycloneSweep]

At this point if it's not coming out of Rishaug or Seravallis mouth the rumor can't be believed

If Holland signs Hyman for 6+ M for 6+ years, he better not act surprised again when the media start pressing him. Little cry baby.

 

[TheNumber4]

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

I expect a Good GM to complete the signings and acquisitions that will make his team better. Failing that, he’s not doing his job well.

That’s not what I asked though.

Gregor did drop the bomb about Hyman

Only time Gregor is trustworthy is when a trustworthy person retweets him

 

[Faelko]

The Dreger numbers seem like the same rumour we heard last week?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Today really can’t end soon enough.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Someone take Holland's phone away.

Honestly if Friedman says something I'm still gonna believe it.

Yes players can sign anywhere. At the end of the day, a GM is judged based on the deals he makes and the team he builds. Holland has shown an inability to as such and should be judged accordingly.

But you’re judging him based on every move made in the entire league, many which are completely out of his control. If player X signs a discount deal with team Y, you would count that as Holland showing he is a failure because he didn’t sign player X for that same deal, totally ignoring every single influencing factor of the actual deal that player X signed.

Shit I forgot him too. Those 3 are pretty much it when it comes to Edmonton shit.

 

[North Cole]

There was nothing in there suggesting it was a quote. Just speculation.

I just mean he @Gregor. Gregor is so ass-backwards normally that I'm not even convinced Hyman is in Edmonton

 

[Deutschland Diggler]

I think Hyman could be a good addition to the team, but with the numbers being thrown around I'd rather just pay up for Landeskog.

 

[FlameChampion]

Seattle picks are kinda interesting. It appears like they are going to be a bit more patient with their build. I think Francis had a bit of a poor reputation in Carolina of being overly cautious. I dont think Hakstol is going to lead a tight ship though, I think that was a poor hire.

Vegas on the other hand, they had a terrific start. I think the terrific start caused them to be pretty aggressive. I think they would of been set up a bit better in the future had they been a bit more patient with some of their decisions. (Tatar trade, Montreal trade etc). They have also traded a lot of young talent (Suzuki, Brannstrom, Glass etc).

 

[CupofOil]

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

In fairness, there's been a whole hell of a lot to complain about. Gut punch after gut punch for this fanbase after 15+ years of constant gut punches. Yeah, there's plenty of overreactions going on but considering this trainwreck of an offseason thus far, it's somewhat warranted.

 

[PaPaDee]

I actually think Hyman could be a great fit here, but I’m concerned about the contract.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

No mention of term, but the fact Gregor is even being rt’d by Seravalli really makes me queasy.

 

[TheNumber4]

That’s not what I asked though.

But that is what it comes down to. Sorry I’m going to outline a hypothetical negotiation plan. As fans we can judge only one thing Results, cause that is all we are privy to.
Here are the results so far:
- Failing to resign Larsson
- Failijg to add talent and depth scoring to this team by failing to sign the most talented Winger going to free agency in Hall
- Potentially and likely overpaying And overrated player in Hyman

So….you don’t have anything to offer. Alrighty then.

Same shit, different season... ah well.

 

[CupofOil]

North of $40M over 6-7 years? Abort ABORT. This is getting to absurd levels.
And yes, I know it's just Dreger but holy f*** if that comes to fruition. That's almost exactly the Lucic contract funny, or not, funny enough.
