News Article: Hyman's next contract

[Morbo]

Hyman is the exact sort of player you can't overpay in this system. Middle of the road physical forward in his late 20s. Danger Will Robinson.

 

[Buds17]

Much probably depends on the feeling of having all of Marner, Nylander, Mikheyev and Robertson as the top four wingers moving forward. Mikheyev would be a season away from UFA status himself. Robertson has yet to carve out that significant of a role.

 

[hobarth]

I don't know what TO is planning to do with Hyman but I hope they either sign him or trade him, don't simply let him walk into UFAdom like Bozak, JVR, Leo, etc.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

That seems a little weak for a team trying to win now.

I don't think they are winning now ... my entire point is we need a couple playoff runs first so da boys learn what it takes to win in playoffs ... so why waste away on another asset like Freddy where we might be able to get a 2022 1st rounder for him

That’s fair, I agree with trying to get something for the asset, if not resigning

If he were to chase money high reaching comparables could be guys like Kane (7m x 7 but percentage of todays cap equals 7.6 x 7), Lee (7mx7) , Kreider (6.5m x7) & Gallagher (6.5m x6)

Reasonable comparables are Anderson :/ (5.5m x 7), Killorn (4.45m x 7 but percentage of todays cap equals 4.97m x 7), Connor Brown (3.6m x 3 signed as RFA), and maybe on the low end pre-breakout Bryan Rust (3.5m x 4 signed as RFA)

Killorn signed at 27, Hyman will be 29 so with the pandemic 4.5m x 5 would be very fair for both sides.

Low comparables are like Brandon Tanev (3.5m x 6) and Kassian (3.2m x 4)

His short term value is between 5m-5.75m, if he has another good year I could see a desperate GM offer him 6M with like 5-6 year term

I'd like to think he'd be the guy to take a big hometown discount if he gets term and big signing bonus deal.

3.75m x 7

If the last years are bad just deal with it then.

I'm not sure I do want him to stay, he's going to be 29, which by itself I don't care about. But his body has already started to break down he's already had one MAJOR knee injury

So in the last 4 seasons where he's been up with the big club he's played 51, 71, 82 and 82 games... Aside from this past season missing a good amount of time, not sure how that really indicates his body has already started to break down. Lol

Well he missed 11 games last year and 19 this year that's 30 games combinef the last 2 years.

So you tell me how is that not a sign his body is breaking down given the style he plays?

 

[Menzinger]

On the positive side for the Leafs hes in the tier of players who will likely get their salaries pinched while league finances get pinched by covid.

How do you do this though? I mean, unless Campbell/Dell makes him redundant, how do you trade away your goalie, that gives you that chance to win in the playoffs, and learn? I understand the thought process, but also consider that they need to win a round or two, to do that learning, and right now, Freddie gives them that best chance. You know quite a bit about Dell I would imagine? Can a Campbell/Dell pairing suffice?

 

[Dog]

Hyman will be re-signed he is exactly fits in future.

Injuries happen. By this logic, Tavares missed 19 games this year, his body is clearly breaking down too. Trade him!

Tavares missed 7 games this year not 19, Leafs only played 70 games

 

[darrylsittler27]

Everything depends on what Hyman asks for but at 29 he has peaked.

 

[MagicalRazor]

Hes gonna take the same term and cap . I'm feeling it

Freddy is 0 for 8 when it counts for us ... I don't know if Campbell and/or Dell or even a red hot Woll can win us a series or two but we can't be any worse off than going 0 for 9 ... winners win losers lose that is life ... Fredy is gone after this season no matter what we can't afford what he wants and he likely needs a change of scenery anywho ... I'd rather get an asset for him then lose in playoffs and then forgo a pick too ... don't forget he cost us a late 1st rounder ... I hope we cut bait and get some value ... just look at what Khudobin did for Dallas ... no reason one of Campbell or Dell can't do same

I think Hyman is aware that, while he could probably make more money elsewhere as a free agent, he's wildly unlikely to find a better on-ice situation.

Here in Toronto he's practically guaranteed to play with 2 of our big 4, every single game. That's a very favorable spot to play.

I'm expecting a reasonable AAV, with player friendly term and movement clauses to compensate.

This is a good point. Wilson and Landeskog are really the only two players who've consistently played a similar role in the whole league. Guaranteed minutes with elite linemates isn't common for muckers and is arguably worth millions itself.

 

[hotpaws]

let him walk , signing him would be Clarkson 2.0

good thing is Dumbass hasn't left himself 2 nickels to rub together so he can't overspend on a Hyman

 

[pucksakes666]

He’ll be gone in free agency and win a cup with his next team .
