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.

If it’s a 6th or 7th round draft pick I hope Holland pays the extra 400k for 7 years.

I'll take a 5th round pick.

The Oilers are willing to pay us a draft pick in order to overpay Hyman.

The alternative is we receive nothing and the Oilers still overpay Hyman.

I'll take option #1.

id guess a 2nd or 3rd

Edmonton doesn't have a 2 or 3 rnd pck this year or next.
If the Leafs were to get ether of those picks, it would be for 2023

I could see a 4 th rnd pck or maybe one of the two 6 rnd pick's they have or both in this year draft

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

I think you have to will the bet to someone else.

Id take Benson and a pick.

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

We already have 50M committed to our forwards. Four of them make up 40M and are all elites who are supposed to carry us to the promised land.

But yes, let's spend more on the forward group and dismiss any upgrades to the defence because we are absolutely, irrevocably priced in.

Id take Benson and a pick.

most would, but is Holland really that lost?

Nope.

The Leafs don't have the Oilers over a barrel here so why are we getting such a nice pay day?

I think you're probably right.. At most, I think it will be a 6th rd pick, if they want the 8th year

Its 400K in cap space every year...I think that's valuable.

This is a sign and trade not trading for rights. Players have gotten 3rd round picks back for trading for rights of players that they dont even know if they can sign.

Its a sign and trade so Holland can get 8 years. I'd say its worth a 2nd or 3rd.

They don't have that so they can figure out what's equal value.

- PatC80

I mean, the rights to Benson would be maybe reasonable but I don't think you get a pick to go with that.

But hey, I don't think I quite understand anything about the economics of the hockey market right now. So who knows?

Two examples.

Vesey got a 3rd and Buffalo didnt sign him

Yandle got a 4th and 6th and Florida signed him

This is a sign and trade, its different and more valuable.

A 6th round pick would be a joke.

- PatC80

He did just trade a 3rd round pick and Caleb Jones for Duncan Keith so id say yes.

is 1:30pm yet?

those trade will be crazy

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

He just retired as a lawyer from the federal Department of Justice. We’re all old.

400K in cap space is really not that big of a difference to warrant a high end pick; Maybe a 6th rd pick or a b-level prospect like Hallander..

Don't get me wrong, I want the Oilers to pay a premium to get the extra year, but at the same time, why would they do it?

Looking at the Oilers defence corps and it's a wonder why the hell they're looking at bringing on Hyman for 5M+ and that much term.

And I guess they're hoping to sign Barrie again.

I wonder how much more painful this coming year's first round exit will be. Or will I just be numb to it all?

Probably the latter.

Lose Larsson, trade Caleb Jones, lose Klefbom for the season... Brought in the youthful Duncan Keith...

What could go wrong?

We should totally trade Kerfoot for Hallander and a 6th.

I think numb to it all, it will be like the 5th season..

Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, Leafs losing in round 1, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, Leafs losing in round 1 and repeat

The Oilers as a mess.

Mcdavid and Dri makes them a playoff team but they wont go anywhere with their roster.
