I don't think this title is correct...

 

[Trxjw]

The title is not at all reflective of that tweet.

The day just keeps getting worse for Oiler fans. Someone pass me the bleach fml

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Title is backwards.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Players like Hyman should not get 8 year contracts.

 

[hockeykicker]

Yeah sorry took me like 5 times reading it for it to click haha

It's okay Holland had a hunting rifle under his arm the entire tour so they'll get a good price on Hyman

 

[Buck Dancer]

Danault is pulling backflips if ever this goes down lol

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

So the Oilers are going to pull the Hyman Maneuver on the Leafs?

Title is backwards.

Leafs watch the Oilers bury themselves with this contract and get a return on the deal also. Works for me

 

[leafsfan5]

lmao we're about to get an asset for someone signing Hyman for 8 years????

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Im really annoyed at my team (Ottawa) right now, so if Edmonton (who I hate) does this. I will be very happy (because it is really stupid).

 

[CupInSIX]

As if giving him 8 years isn't bad enough, but trading for it too...

 

[BlackFrancis]

Chris Drury wasn't on the hook long, I guess.

 

[McIce Whole]

What the actual f***…

 

[Some Other Flame]

Yes. Do it Holland. Do it.

6m x 8yrs, mostly signing bonuses and a full NMC. It's inevitable.

Actually watch Holland get it down to like 5.5M x 8yrs and call it a win. "What you want me to sign players for free?"

 

[Eternal Leaf]

They're going to sign Hyman for eight years?

 

[93gilmour93]

Danault is pulling backflips if ever this goes down lol

With the Oilers moves so far at this rate Danault may be playing on his line next season for similar money

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

He's not an 8 year player. If he's forcing the team he's going to to become worse by trading assets to get him when he's a pending UFA, he's not a team player either. Man this is bad, if true.

They would’ve had to get permission from Toronto to talk to Hyman right?

 

[leafsfan5]

Toronto provided permission last week

Toronto gave Hyman and his agent permission to talk with any team
