Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Hyman?

[McDrai]

That we know about atleast.

If Gregor reports that McDavid has been traded then we are safe.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I guarantee they are a lot more level headed then people here lol.

Maybe, but I bet they don't want Koskinen to step foot in the room again as a teammate.

For those who don’t realize we live in the most northern city we’re not Vegas or Tampa or Dallas. We have the most travel of all nhl teams. We’re a Canadian city many players don’t want to play in Canada. We’re always going to have to overpay for FA. Doesn’t matter who the gm is doesn’t matter we have a new arena doesn’t matter we have McDavid. It’s just the way it is and always has been unfortunately.

 

[joestevens29]

Lol, okay Holland

So no one knew we gave him permission to talk to other teams until now?

 

[dustrock]

Is Hyman not a UFA? Why would we give Toronto anything to sign and trade instead of just signing him ourselves?

Not technically a UFA until July 28th. Leafs continue to hold his rights. Leafs have the ability to sign an 8 year deal. Only the Leafs -but they can sign and trade to us.

Clearly the case, though I still find it somewhat concerning he jumped on the first ship leaving port when he could have waited a week and had his pick of the fleet.

What can ya do, though.

It was said he was allowed to talk to other teams on Saturday. Sounds like he liked Seattle and did us a favor on the expansion front in doing so. Last little bonus from him for us I guess

Maybe him using our Seattle pick was him feeling bad about it and not wanting to have the team double dunked. If the other team he was considering was Vancouver like rumoured, why not take Vancouver + (Seattle)

Holland does run a relatively tight ship.

Are you saying giving up assets to get him until he's 37 years old is a bad thing?

Every city overpays for UFAs. What city gets huge discounts on big ticket, big term UFAs?

Goodrow just bent over the Rangers and took them to the cleaners.

You want to improve your team mainly through higher profile UFAs, you pay a premium. That's not just an Edmonton thing.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

If Hyman is an 8 year deal, we can hope for like 4.5 right? RIGHT?

 

[TheNumber4]

Lol, okay Holland

Wait, I take it back, Holland can’t pull off the simple 1-step negotiation strategy of paying out your ass.

 

[herestohoping]

You kind of can. Nuge makes 6.25 at its highest and 2.25 at it's lowest

I think you missed bonuses because his lowest total salary is $3,750,000 (1.25 bonus + 2.5 salary). Your minimum total salary is half of the highest total salary.

 

[Faelko]

I could definitely see us signing Hyman to an 8 year deal to get the cap hit lower. Holland won't be here to deal with it at the end.

I won’t be either haha

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Players are probably pretty happy if they get Hyman on their team.

They want to win.

For 8 f***ing years?

I’d rather get kicked in the nuts every Wednesday for 8 years.

 

[CycloneSweep]

So you are upset that he DIDNT overpay for Larsson...even though he offered more money?

We wouldn't, obviously.

Just another HNIC reporter drumming up like button presses from the Toronto faithful. It makes no sense.

 

[soothsayer]

Most of you are confused. Holland was brought in for his networking skills, not his acumen as a manager. He's already made one friend this off-season: Stan Bowman.

Let's hope and pray Holland can wait a week then... yikes

 

[McDrai]

In before we're penalized by the league for talking to Hyman before free agency due to some made up rule. Our 2023 1st round pick will be awarded to Tampa Bay and they will select Conor Bedard.

f*** that I rather Hyman. I can stop watching the Oilers if need be. Leave my balls alone lol

 

[McHelpus]

Hyman is in edmonton rn

This is gonna be a 8 year deal worth 5 million probably.

Maybe the 8 year deal is the league punishing us?

Hyman contracts I'd be happy with, by number of years:
1 x $7m = $7 mil
2 x $6.5m = $13 mil
3 x $6.5m = $19.5 mil
4 x $6m = $24 mil
5 x $5m = $25 mil
6 x $4m = $24 mil
7 x $3m = $21 mil
8 x $2m = $16 mil

Please remind me not to hire you for my contract negotiations

Wednesday eh? That's very specific. Do you have fun time with the wifey/gf every Tuesday? Getting kicked in the nuts every Wednesday would give you a week to recuperate
