Played to a 59 and 63 point pace the last 2 shortened seasons.The team that signs Zack "Hands" Hyman is going to regret it. He has played almost his entire career with Matthews and Marner or Tavares and Nylander or some combination of those and has a max of 41 points. He's a 28 year old bottom sixer at best, worth at most $2-2.5M. If you're team is the unlucky one you better hope it's not a long contract. Something like 5x$5M will be a disaster.
No depth player is going to be very interested in taking a hometown discount after the stars grabbed every penny they could.I think anyone who expected him to take a home town discount was being naive. The salary structure for the young stars really means that you can’t expect discount signings unless it’s older guys like Spezza who have already had their pay day. If you want discounted deals the star players have to lead the way.

Saying he is a $2 million bottom sixer is ludicrous. Im not even a big Hyman fan but he is obviously quite better then that. 5x5 is actually pretty solid and thats probably around what he gets.
Have you ever been concerned about any move that the Maple Leafs have made in the history of ever?
Absolutely not.
No interest in Hyman whatsoever...free or as part of a trade
Hyman and Danault are fools?I wouldn't go a cent over 4M. Same deal as a Danault.
If teams overpay a la 5,6,close to 7M a year for any one of these fools, they'll be regretting it a year or two into the deals.
Like Mikko Lehtonen? The waiver wire D who can't crack a bottom pair that you said would be Finland's #2LD behind Heiskanen for the next decade?Leafs gave away very important, key pieces away before, just like Hyman, to sign Tavares and look what happened to them,
they are in a hell, where its almost impossible to come out, without seriously changing the roster.
isn't Hyman a UFA? if so, why would be sign a contract just to be traded? he could just sign with Detroit if that's what he wantedHyman (signed) + Dermott
For
Bertuzzi
I'm usually the last guy to propose a sign n trade. But maybe with the expansion looming and Wings apparent interest in Dermott too... may be a fit.
The sign and trade is only in place...knowing ZH is walking and keeping Seattle(early access) and others away.
why?Absolutely not.

100% right. That's why I hate those deals because I've responded the same way as you before.isn't Hyman a UFA? if so, why would be sign a contract just to be traded? he could just sign with Detroit if that's what he wanted
I'd love Hyman on the Avs.
Not wrong. We're a joke. Not sure what we can actually do to upgrade this team; while being financially tied to THIS core.Okay so the leafs would be fine dropping a good player in Hyman for bertuzzi or hall
Wonderboy gonna wonderboy and regress his team lmfao
100% right. That's why I hate those deals because I've responded the same way as you before.
I just wonder with expansion (Hyman can sign in Seattle before UFA opens, poential to sign the longer contract and no other teams ramping up the price)
But yes, I agree. If they want him... probably just wait.

Any ideas? Lol
