Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

[Fourier]

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

I doubt it happens but what would realy be a killer is if the Oilers sent Toronto a real asset for the pleasure of signing Hyman for 8 years at $6M+. Yikes!

Source?

Sorry, should have said, that's my guess. Just getting my prediction in before/in case it is announced.

Didn't mean to scare anyone.

 

[nabob]

Lol, I thought he was going to zona

He could go to Robidas island, as long as he goes somewhere!

 

[FlameChampion]

Good thing we don't have this years 2nd and can't trade next years 2nd either. It's in limbo from the Keith trade.

Too bad

True. How about a first then. Dubas needs to recoup his loses after the Foligno trade. :p

 

[Faelko]

I’m actually amazed that more posters don’t use the ignore function.

I always take them off ignore when the next season starts. Usually doesn’t last long haha

Hall never made it to free agency. Again you show that you don’t understand how things work.

It would be cool if you could at least to attempt to answer the question though.

Hall was a UFA in the offseason. Every GM had the oppurtunity to make a pitch. In that situation it’s GM vs GM in a competition to win talent, fill needs, and build a team. Boston’s GM got the job done, he will get rightfully praised by his fanbase. Holland did not, and it should count as a mark against him no matter how many speculative rationalizations you want to use.

 

[frag2]

But if Larsson was unwilling to sign then he wasn’t available. Hall was not available either. The two that you keep on crying about are both players who were not going to sign here.

Holland offered Larsson both more money amd more term to stay in Edmonton. Larsson said thanks but no thanks. What else could he have done?

Larsson didn't want to stay and we still have people crying about Holland lol

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Cash in some prospects/picks for Garland and/or Buchnevich pls.

 

[yukoner88]

You misread my post.

Probably. I'm at the end of working a 14 hr day now. I was stood corrected about contract structure too.

Off to din din, n some sleep.


Catch you guys on the flip side

The Oilers didn't have 8M to sign Hall last year

Yeah Holland has done a magnificent job so far.

 

[Mr Positive]

if Holland's track record with Detroit is any indication, he will use the players he signed as a line in the sand.

The RNH contract seems like a perfect one for Holland to draw that line. 5 million x 8 years. I don't see why RNH is so much better that we should be offended if Hyman signs for that. They have similar status in my eyes. Middle six players who can excel with elite players next to them, and can be top line players in that role for stretches

Garland is American and Buch is Russian those guys hate Edmonton Holland can do nothing except EVERYTHING because he’s our dear leader.

Neither did Boston. But they did enough to convince Hall that If it becomes a possibility, come on over to your new home, and Hall did just that.

In a vacuum you're probably right, that said the RNH contract is already a risky one on the basis of term, you're playing with fire if you're locking up multiple non-elite 28/29 year olds to 7-8 year terms.

Hyman probably is a better player than RNH especially 5-on-5 but he has also plays a style that invites more injuries.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

I really like Hyman, i think he'd be a great fit on the Oilers too.

But that contract won't be great unless its only for 4-5 years or if the AAV starts with a 4.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Lemme just say

f*** BOB NICHOLSON.

So now you’re widening the criteria of what Holland can be blamed for to include previous seasons and off seasons that really don’t have anything to do with the current off-season?

go go Gadget arms with that kind of reach.


Oleksiak signed with Seattle, probably because Holland didn’t woo him enough when he was a free agent last time…geez that sounds really dumb to say that…

 

[Oilhawks]

Buchnevich would be great but at what cost? A player of that caliber could cost something brutal like Bouchard+1st.

With Drury at the helm maybe we could get it done for Kassian and a 4th

 

[McRpro]

Larsson didn't want to stay and we still have people crying about Holland lol

Holland should have offered Larsson so much money and term there was no way he could refuse. Then those same posters would complain about how much Holland overpaid.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Of course Hyman is in Edmonton. We really want him.
Hyman being an Oiler is a great thing. The only question is, how good will the contract be?
Of free agents out there Hyman is definitely a great fit here. Him McDavid and Puljujarvi would be a puck possession machine of a line.

The quality of the contract can hurt in other areas thats for sure.

Don’t disagree.

However, that contract could be devastating.

Yeah I think hes a good fit too, contract scares me. I guess the nice thing about Hyman is that hes used to playing in a pressure environment. The crazy Edmonton fans arent going to scare him away.

Why would Hyman sign that? His agent should be fired on the spot if he even proposes that kind of a contract to his client.

Just shoot me now

 

[Deutschland Diggler]

I'd be pretty happy with the look of hyman and one of buchnevich or garland on the roster.

Hyman-McDavid-Puljujarvi
Nuge-Draisaitl-Buchnevich/Garland

Just hope it doesn't do too much damage.
