Unless it's a young bonafide superstar, you shouldn't give anyone a 8 year contract. That can handicap an organization for years to come
Especially at the age of 29 for a player who depends lots on his legs and body to play the game
I am really happy for Zach. A true leaf to the bone. But Peter Zezel was a true Leaf and so was Corson. His time has come.
I hope we can pick up a maybe a mid round pick, maybe 5th or 4th. That way we have more than 3 picks to select from this year's draft

Dubas is doing his best to help handcuff Edmonton when McDavid needs a new contact so it’s easier to bring him to Toronto

Well..we have to remember that UFA contracts are over payments most of the time. With James Neal and koskinen leaving, 5 million per for a Competitive utility winger will just have to Do. Welcome to Edmonton Zack. I hope you can bang in 30 goals from the 2 best players on the earth.
That's the key right. When you are used to players like Lucic, Neil and Koskinen at the price they were getting paid, paying Hyman 5 million a year isn't bad at all
Hyman will bring to their team what those guys couldn't. Love the guy, but 8 years is just too much
Also frankly speaking, every player not named Spezza left a sour taste after last playoff run. I am ok people leaving

You know if you take $2 mil overpayment from Marner and $500k overpayment from Matthews and gave it to their linemate Hyman, then you would have Zach's new contract at $ 5 mil covered.
If Marner was on his proper $8.5 mil x 8 deal and Matthews on his proper $11.0 mil x 8 years deal then Hyman at $5 mil x 8 years would fit in for the SAME Cap money to absorb his new contract and raise, and Leafs are paying right now only without Hyman.
Marner @ $10.9 mil + Matthews @ $11.64 mil + Hyman @ $2.25 mil = $24.75 mil combined Cap.
vs
Marner @ $8.5 mil + Matthews @ $11.00 mil + Hyman @ $ 5.25 mil = $24.75 mil combined Cap.
Now they have to take his former $2.25 mil and try and find a new Hyman at 1/2 the cost as a result of those other contracts and once they do they will be right back the same spot cap wise they are right now at nearly $25 mil for that top line.
Leafs current cap totals already reflect the Hyman raise due to over-payments!!!

No amount of spin can justify giving Hyman $8 x 5

If true (have to believe it’s not), Dubas with another misstep. You don’t do any favours for free in business... he better have already agreed to something with that horrible GM
Even if we did have that cap space, giving it to Hyman for that term is astronomically stupid.

Even if you have the cap space, you don't give Hyman 8 x 5. That's awful.

If you know what you're doing you can have a tough team and have decent contracts. It's not either/or.

You think the potential of giving Holland a free window to agree with Hyman and not getting any compensation is good business? That would be Ron Francis levels of ineptitude

There has to be compensation if a trade is made. Even a 2023 7th.
That's how this works.
Edit - Unless I'm misunderstanding you and you're talking about compensation just for talking to Hyman, which I agree with.

I don't think anyone seriously wants that Hyman contract. If they do, they deserve a non-contending team.
Mess is a mod. He can troll as much as he wants without any accountability.

Yes, that is exactly what this is saying.
Our school systems have obviously went all to hell.
The shit negotiator got through the expansion draft by only losing Hallander. Total shit negotiator. He didn't overpay for a side deal with Seattle like a good negotiator would have.

Saw your edit- that is what I’m talking about.
btw they could wait until July 28, sign for 7 with no compensation and it would be a disaster from Dubas

Dubas has little leverage.. it’s all on how much Holland wants that extra year to bring down the AAV
