Anyone else miss Bobby Mack. He's still the best.
No, I think Hyman goes for about 4.5 to the Leafs... As I've said numerous times in this thread. He's significantly better than both Iafallo and Laughton.
I think the Hyman could start with a 5 on the OPEN MARKET if he test free agency, in an expansion year. That's what I said.
I think people are silly to think that Hyman isn't woth roughly 500k more than Iafallo.

Ya'll are so trade-obsessed! I get it, it's fun, but the Leafs are pretty damn good. This is my first trade deadline where I'm almost hoping for more-or-less inactivity.

Well maybe look past the top 10 of a draft? Same reason why people hyped up the 2020 draft as being one the best when it was absolute trash after like the top 13. The top 10 is not amazing this year. The number 1 guy is probably not going to be the best one out there. Good news is that we are not going to be picking in the top 10 this year.
There is a good chance that Aatu Raty would have fallen to our 1st. Consensus 1st overall pick in this draft all of last season. Not having the best year this year but still has a ton of upside. Sebastian Cossa is a potential franchise goalie who has been pegged to go in the late 1st, but may have raised his stock too much. Ben Gaudreau is another potential franchise goalie out there, but he hasn't played yet this year. He will be playing in the U18 tournament and almost certainly will be the starter. Corson Ceulemans is a PPG+ defenseman in the AJHL. A bunch of Swedes are there that are better than any of the Swedes last year. Matthew Coronato has almost a 2PPG and GPG in his DY in the USHL, and there are a bunch of high end USDP guys in that range (USDP is far better this year than last year). There are a bunch of WHL guys who look like they could be fighting to be in that range too, but they are just getting started. Bolduc/Bourgault/L'Heureux/Huckins/Whynot from the QMJHL.
Some of the OHL guys like Chayka and Pinelli are doing well overseas.
There is a lot more variability and depth across all player types and positions this year. People may have written off this draft, but I have looked at it and in the spots we are drafting it is better than last year. I wouldn't be shocked if you can get multiple Amirov, Sandin, Liljegren, or Robertson level prospects in that 1st round range. Not sure the depth really holds up into the late 2nd round all that well yet (I would need to see more out of the OHL guys, because there were a lot of OHL guys ranked in that range before this season) but you can probably find another Niemela or Hirvonen in that range again based on what I have analyzed.

Ah yes the good old days, i used to do the exact same thing and then go play some NHL.
Haven't done that in a few years, keeps getting progressively more boring.
Here's hoping for next year we do it for old times sake lol.

If they were the same age and Iafallo also took a discount, then maybe. Iafallo is almost 2 years younger and it does not look like he took a discount. That factors in a lot.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheque.
I can see Hyman taking a team friendly deal. He plays with a lot of great players and has the luxury of a well-off family. I agree with your point though about him being a quality player. This is a rare case though of money may not be a factor moreso winning a cup with his hometown team / playing with a team he grew up with.
First post!

Where is Mathew when you need him? He's been awful quiet for a few years.
As I've said, I'll be here to eat a large helping of crow when Hyman signs for this magical 3.75 million dollar deal that some here think he will. A guy who has paced for nearly 60 points the past two seasons and has continued to get better every single year since he became a mainstay in the lineup.
I'm going to stick with 4-5 × 4.5 until I hear otherwise. I'll jump for joy if it's even 4.25.
I'm starting to doubt Patrick Laine is coming here.

A drastically overpaid depth defenseman doesn't get moved in a tight cap market?
Not really surprising.

It will be weird if we don’t pick up a depth D. An inexperienced Sandin/Lily or sub-optimal Rosen/Marincin would have some real trouble if we make it to conference finals and run into injuries

I think Hyman will sign between 4 to 4.5 for 4 to 5 years
if we do not deal kerfoot now; then kerfoot goes to seattle with a sweetnet (pick or dermott I think); free up cap space to get Hyman deal done and add from UFA to fill in kerfoot's role.
Sandin replaces Dermott
Lily replaces Bogo

Well, if you go off one reporters logic. We either need to make a move to clear cap for Andersen when he comes back OR we know he's not coming back by playoffs and we have the LTIR cap to play with.
And since we got Riddich in leaning towards the latter, which means, we should be making another move. I think depth D or scoring support.
