Rumor: Zach Hyman is signing in Edmonton - Done deal per James Mirtle

[HamiltonNHL]

Hyman cared about winning too much.

He had to go.

Why play as a underling for a core that doesn't really care?

 

[paulhiggins]

Leafs are going to be so soft when the season starts in 2 and a half months

If they prove you wrong on the scoresheet some day next season, I might consider watching a full game instead of just the highlights. Boring "buddies vs. buddies" crap...I wish I had a Saturday night time machine and could watch some Gilmour or Sittler or Domi.

 

[ToneDog]

At least he's never signed any crippling contracts like the Lucic, Kassian, Clarkson, Marleau and soon to be Hyman deals.

Agreed instead he overpaid 4 great players, gave them money up front and we are in cap hell. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Cares about winning so much he is going to Edmonton

Cares about winning so much he is asking for way too much for too long

 

[Primary Assist]

Hyman is the poster child for hard work and making your own luck. Kids, do you want to play with Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid? Work your ass off literally every single shift and you can make it happen

Better than our core, all signed with overpay money on short deals and play the playoffs like it's the game before the all star break.

 

[Confucius]

Hyman is going to play with McDavid. I think he will be just fine. McDavid will get 100 pts next season. WRITE IT DOWN!

so he will drop in production, I've written it down.

They have the best player, I'll give you that.

Better core, not a chance.

So u piss on the UFA Hyman from earning and cashing in on his last payday but worship our greedy 3 RFAs who were prepared to sit out if they did not get what they demanded and haven't lived up to what they were selling. Ok.

 

[NewEraGM]

I've allowed myself to get my hopes up about what the return could be. By allowing them to talk without trading for his rights we've created a defined benefit to them far more valuable than talking to him early and *maybe* reaching a deal

Yea but the benefit has already beeen received lol ! Why would Edmonton pay more than a late pick. Don’t expect much

Your core is useless if u cannot surround them with enough quality players. Take off the glasses and you will see clearly.

When McDavid is in EDM, Matthews will be in Arizona

Not pissing on anyone. The poster said he cares about winning too much.

Going to Edmonton shows the exact opposite of that and asking for way too much term and money shows the opposite.

Never mentioned the 4 RFAs at all.

100%

And Hyman writes children's books

Leafs may take Klefbom's money and get a higher pick. Dubas trying his best to buy his way out. Only a matter of time before he runs out of lives.

Again your arguing things I didn't say.

Core is better. All I said.

 

[NewEraGM]

Toronto will be so soft! This team is going to get bullied every night wow. Not that Hyman was police chief or anything but he was still a bit of sandpaper

 

[Cor]

We gotta stop with this. If Matthews leaves (he won’t) it won’t be to go to the team who can’t pay signing bonuses on time.

More likely to go to a big market US team, if anything.

No it hasn't. The benefit is the 8th year being used to bring the cap hit down.

So trade coming this year ?

As I see it McDavid is in Edmonton and Matthews is in Toronto, unless I missed something...

He is a UFA. Why would he take a big enough haircut to play with this greedy group when he can get his money and play with McD? He is getting market value and does not have to threaten to sit to get it. God bless him.

Matthews

Family > Money > Winning

NHL season starts in October, not tomorrow

Only the guys with sick danglez and snipes are allowed to earn every dollar they can.

That's how it works apparently.

McDavid 8 year deal
Matthews 5 year deal on overpay money
