It kinda reminded me of a New Years Eve party - you go because you are told you will have fun, you pretend you are having fun, but you really just want to leave because you aren't having any fun.

Not “fun” fun but maybe just a bit of a celebration for anybody excited by team actually coming. They’re here, it’s real, etc.

I would wager a larger guess on a 6th.

But hey - If Dubas can swing a 2nd out of it, I'm game.

- Leafs43

I feel like 400k in cap space is worth more than a 6th

Unless, and stay with me here, we upgrade Holl and save $ by sliding Mik onto the first line.

I really wonder what the market was like for Hyman.

7X5.5M seems insane.

People on the innerwebs are saying that deal will look bad in year 4 or 5.

I say it looks bad on day 1.

5.1M if its 8 years isnt horrible.

its maybe a tad overpay but Mcdavid will be happy to have him.

That contract gets ugly fast though.

He had stone hands 2 years ago...he is 29...how far away are we from seeing that Hyman again?

And he has two knee surgeries and looked like it in playoffs.

Dubas wasn't giving him a dime over 4.25 and that should have been an indicator for Holland.

I also cringe at signing 2nd line 30 year olds...no matter who it is it always has potential to be an Erikkson, Ladd or Okposo.

I'd like Schwartz but at 29 it is scary to sign him.

McGinn is my FA target. Trade for the rest.

I was being sarcastic. Money spent upfront > money spent to replace Holl

I bet my nephew $53 that Leafs win a Cup before Oilers. Good luck getting my kid to pay when I’m dead.

He'll have to pay himself, good way to introduce him to the real world.

You have to think Holland is overpaying to sign him now.

Good on Hyman for getting paid.

What's in it for the Leafs?

If it's some token draft pick like a 5th rounder no way Leafs should be enabling Hyman to jump ship.

Yeah, there's just no possible way the Leafs could have made that happen.
