Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

[North]

Friedman added his own spin to his sources statement. OH well?

So your statement is exactly what Friedman said?

 

[McTonyBrar]

I’d like Hyman, but I really hope that it isn’t for $6m x 6. If he wants $6m, it should be for like 4 years - he has been productive on a points per game basis, but never actually put together a 50 point season. A 6 year deal should lower that AAV to $5m or under.

7 years 5 is good

 

[FlameChampion]

Respect Friedman as a reporter, but I find it hard to agree with him on this one! Hard to imagine Larsson or someone close to his camp feel the need to share any of that

Yeah if theres not some truth to it, thats a really bad take by Friedman. Cant say stuff like that. But who knows, maybe it is somewhat true. Whether it was just Larssons personality or not, he never really did ever seem like he was having fun or enjoying it here. Maybe we shouldnt be surprised if it turns out to be even some truth in the statement. Anyways good luck to Larsson and his time spent here.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Free agency starts July 28th, no?

You can announce trades at 11:00 Mountain Time tomorrow from my understanding and you can re-sign your own players after that. So by then Edmonton can trade Toronto for Hyman and then re-sign him to an 8-year contract if everyone agrees.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Friedman suggested that we may be trading a pick.

I mean, why not, we clearly have too many.

 

[Wreckus]

Don't disagree.

I'm fearing the AAV and term of this deal. I like Hyman, but if we blow our load on him we're gonna regret it.

100% in agreement. I'm fearing a 7 or 8 year deal at 5+ for Hyman and we will be regretting it year 5+.

No one close to Larsson told Friedman that he left because the fans were making 1 for 1 jokes. That's a reckless thing to post and completely made up. It was Friedman speculating on his own because he is surprised Larsson left.

"I just think that he wanted a fresh start. If you look at the last couple years, it's been pretty emotional for him... family issues. Also, I wonder if he was ever really comfortable. The trade for Hall. I think at times, the jokes, the 1-for-1... I always wonder if that ever really made him feel really comfortable in Edmonton, and at the end of the day, I think he was ready for a fresh start. I don't think Seattle really beat out Edmonton in terms of what they offered. I just think, at the end of the day, he wanted a fresh start. That's what a couple people closer have told me."

There's the full quote.

And here we were told he left b/c of Duncan Keith? The fan thing makes more sense when you hear statements like we got today

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Freaking nonsense, you get him in fa because we are going to be out paying and out terming eveyone else no doubt but doing a holland special he will kick in a draft pick for free so as not to squeeze the leafs.

I swear if we give up a pick for the right to overpay and over term freaking hyman I'll go berserk.

Well make sure you're alone in a padded room around 1 pm EDT tomorrow.

Weird, looks like nothing about Oiler fans was mentioned.

Toronto has to sign Hyman to the contract and then trade him to Edmonton. The player has to be on the signing team's roster at the trade deadline to get an 8-year deal.

Yah just read the bit about Hyman visiting here, Oilers probably want to lock up their guy now rather than bidding war in FA. We probably overpay either way.

 

[McDrai]

Yes I am because I was one of those Amazing Oiler fans..

Did you cheer on Chiarelli for every horrible deal he made?
If not then you're a horrible Oilers fan like me

 

[antropomorphia]

Toronto has to sign Hyman to the contract and then trade him to Edmonton. The player has to be on the signing team's roster at the trade deadline to get an 8-year deal.

So is he correct in saying 11 am tomorrow?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Why tomorrow? Unless they’re trading a pick it won’t be until the 28th

Yeah got that wrong my bad

 

[FlameChampion]

Great, so there's already a narrative out there that our City sucks and this is why we can't convince good players to come/stay, now we also have to deal with the narrative that the people here suck? Thanks Friedman you Toronto shill.

I think theres some truth to it. Edmonton generally scores low when they do players polls. Its somewhat improved since getting McDavid and Draisaitl but Oilers not being on players trade list is a pretty common theme. Not being an Holland apologist or anything, but I think too many people think its easy for a GM to get players to come here and they have all these options to improve the team.

 

[McTedi]

8 year deal? Yikes.

 

[McXLNC97]

Yeah, i'm not sure where this narrative is that the Oilers are trading for him to get the extra year. The Leafs have to ink him to the deal first and then trade to the Oilers. Oilers and other teams can only go max 7 years

 

[TheNumber4]

Yeah if theres not some truth to it, thats a really bad take by Friedman. Cant say stuff like that. But who knows, maybe it is somewhat true.

Even if its pure personal speculation by Friedman and not in any way based on any sources and he states as such that's bad form by Friedman. Whether he's speculating or not he put that out there and it'll become a narrative regardless.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Free agency starts July 28th, no?

Maybe trade for rights? Friedman said we might

 

[Oilslick941611]

So Friedman pretty much just said Larsson left because of the jokes Oiler fans made about Larsson "1 or 1" etc and because the fans made him feel uncomfortable in the city..




Congratulations Amazing Oiler fans

where did you see this?

I mean it serves this toxic fanbase well, Hockey players are just people at the end of the day, and when you get a chance to leave a bad situation behind, you take it.

Do we really know what the discussed terms are? Theres too much speculation to know imo. Someone says an opinion and another reports that opinion as fact.

It's not like Holland will know what the other teams offer. There will be more teams with cap space this offseason because of expansion, and so imo the contract cost likely goes up if this gets to free agency

 

[McTonyBrar]

Did you cheer on Chiarelli for every horrible deal he made?

I hated every deal. I did like signing Lucic LOL

 

[Heavy Dee]

Toronto has to sign Hyman to the contract and then trade him to Edmonton. The player has to be on the signing team's roster at the trade deadline to get an 8-year deal.

Can't they trade his rights first?

Friedman was just speculating. No actual info there

lol

That's some some soft baby shit, there is a definite mental toughness problem on this team and that pretty much confirms Larsson was part of the problem.

How are you gonna play in tough games where players say all kinds of crap to you constantly when you get rattled that easy.

Also it's revisionist bullshit because one year after the trade everyone in the city was falling over themselves to declare the Oilers won the trade, he sent that opinion down the toilet by playing like half that player for the rest of his time here.

There's toxic fans everywhere....Canucks fans trashed Gaudette and his wife so bad when the whole Covid thing occured with the Canucks.
