Benning said he’d ideally like to get a Russian player to help Pod with the transition here. Also said earlier this month that he wants size on the back end.

Nikita Zadorov?

If it is true that Schmidt has been traded it makes more sense now. I've heard Chicago fans call him the left handed Gudbranson.

Hyman if signed here would probably play the Burrows role for EP or Bo.

Do you think he will do as well as he did with Marner and Mathews?

Lot of interesting rumours out there, I think Benning has something big up his sleeve

No but he will fit in fine & will AM & Marner do as well without him digging for pucks?

Do fans only see stats or do they recognize the hard workers doing the dirty work?

Not saying he isn't a fit... just that his numbers are inflated and I don't think he will produce as much. Thus making his contract way too high. And yes I think AM and Marner will do just as well.

Plus minus is what matters

Sedins did the same with just about everyone. It was the 3rd wheel whether a fit or not that produced more or less.

A 40pt+/year player like Hyman has inflated stats?
His line mates don’t carry him. That is ignoring what he brings to the table. His contract will be fair value or more if not a Leaf. Yes AM & MM will get their stats but won’t have him making life easier.

Yup…

With Hyman it’s a plus
Without Hyman it’s a minus

And how did the Anson Carter in Columbus contract work out?

He sucked but was a different type of player. He rode the Sedins coattails.

100% he does. He gets top line minutes with PP with high scoring linemates. And what is with the + is that the 41 points... his top season. He is gonna get good contract due to his extra points... become a second or third line player within 3 years. So his 5 mill plus contract will be another boat anchor. Just my opinion

Leafs will be worse off without him. Softer & easier to play against.

Agree with that. He brings something they need. They don't have much grit among their forwards.... especially in the top 6. But not like we are ones to talk

Canucks are among the softest teams in the league.

I realize you have a hard-on for Hyman, but your drooling is getting a bit much.

I said it weeks ago… Flyers. It was done right after the season ended, hence no exit interview. Boom.

The great Zach Hyman, 5 points in 19 games over the past 3 years in the playoffs. An absolute playoff beast.
13 points in a career 32 playoff games.

Lol.

Looks bad on his points totals, looks even worse, when you watch him play.

He helps many teams for what he brings to the table. Won’t be signing here.
