a lot depends on how much other teams bid for hyman, and as we can see, crap happens so you gotta look after yourself and family first and get paid and we dont blame him or anyone...this is his prime 28 years of life biggest contract in his life contract, he aint taking it lightly i promise you that
every team with cap will throw 4.5mill at hyman, and imo the highest one team might bid is 5.5m over 5, it only takes one team...im sure being a local boy and starting career here he would ove be here a long time but thats a lot of money
so we looking in the 4.5-5.5 range for hyman if hes a 50 per 82 player next year, and thats highly highly doable, 55-60 is possible...pageau just got 5 and kreider just got 6.5 and jvr 7 last year, and some GMs might like hyman like player over all 3, if i was gm i easily give 5 over 5 to hyman over any of those contracts...it will come down to if we match close to it or not, cause hyman is getting his money
