News Article: Hyman's next contract
- Thread starter meefer
- Start date
he said he wants to be a leaf for life and i believe him, but with his rising production, i don't see how we keep him. he's turned into more than just the grinder/puck retrieval guy on our top line
With a guy like Hyman there are factors at play beyond his NHL market value.

We want to keep him so ..... it’s mutual.
Going to be interesting to see what he signs for, he is a local boy with a lot of his business ties to Toronto. Maybe the MLSE will buy his Esports team for like 15mil in and wink wink deal so he can sign for like 2mil for another 5 yrs.
I want Zach Hyman to be a career Leafer.
If only we had 3 more like him.

His dad at one point owned something like 90 GTHL AAA minor and multiple junior A teams. Despite being from an undeniably privileged background he's the player we see today, an engine that never quits, on or off the ice. There are rumours that his trade here was nicety to let Florida recoup a pick because he was going to wait and sign here anyway. He's a successful children's author.
Financially set, already successful outside of hockey, and big signs that he's playing for passion/pride more than money, and that said passion/pride is tied to the Leafs.
Not saying he's going to play for league min in some act of charity, but that there's a good chance that a middle ground could be found a long term deal that's comfortable for the Leafs and less than a player of his skillset could demand on the open market.
4-4.5 aav for 4 years.
Shouldnt be re-signed until after the expansion draft anyways, so theres plenty of time to see how he performs and if his knee is still a problem or not.

Hymans contract comparable should be Zach Kassian's contract ! Shouldnt be too complex
I love Hyman but if he wants more than around 3.25 million a season then see you later i guess .
He's having a great year for points but lets be real hes exceeding his point production this year . Cant be paying a guy like that 4 +/- million a year who will be pretty worn down at the point that extension ends.

Management likely offers him lots of term in return for a lower aav.

The Athletic shows his comparable in the 4-5 million range, and predicts a 4.3 million contract.

Correct answer at the right price of course.
The problem is that the Leafs (with their wimp culture they've cultivated) have a complete and total absence of players like Hyman.
I'm sure him and his agent know he's in the driver's seat as far as negotiations go but you have to hope it's the hometown glory he's looking for.
As someone above eluded to already, he's shown he wasn't interested in playing in sunny Florida at a time when his playing options were limited.

He seems like the type of player who would be willing to work with Leafs management to get something acceptable to both parties so he can remain in Toronto
If the cap remains 81,5M and he wants every dollar possible he's going to end up somewhere else and I don't think either side wants that
I wouldn't be shocked if he took something around 3-3.5M with some term and trade protection, his book career, financial situation and how beloved he is within the fan base are going to influence his decision making process imo

Hyman seems to have his head on straight, he knows his stats wouldn't be close to what they are if he wasn't playing with superstars every night. He'll take a lower AAV for term. I'm guessing 6 years, 3.75M.

Normally I'm strongly against giving middle-six types long-term deals, but I'd go 4.5-5 × 6 years without hesitation. Which takes him from 29-34.

The Leafs need to be careful with this one. Hyman will be 29 at the end of this current contract. Undoubtedly he brings a lot of compete, grit, leadership, and work ethic but I'm nervous to think what his on ice play will look like when he loses a step. His puck skills won't get any better either, and they are not that great to begin with.
I love the guy and what he brings but I'd be extremely hesitant to hitch my wagon to him long-term.
If you can get him on a 4 year deal around $4-$4.5 mill AAV, I think the Leafs do well here. If it's a term longer than 5 years I think they lose this deal.

3-3.5 for 4 years is what the leafs should offer. It will suck if it doesn’t work out, but paying him anymore is not going to be beneficial
hyman is getting 5.5m from a lot of teams next year as a ufa, hes not taking a big cut, nobody has so far and nobody has to...hyman has the defense offense combo to play on any top 2 line, and hes a 1st unit PKer, that gives you 50 points and thats super useful in hockey...hoping he signs for 5m and its probably 5 years

I'd be gutted to see him go.
The guy is a warrior whether it's game 45 in the dead of winter or game 7 in the playoffs.

Have to wonder if his Esports business benefits from his Toronto exposure and that plays a role somewhere.
