Wrong. Not a GM in the league that would take those two over Hyman and Dermott
Lets break this down:
DeAngelo vs Dermott:
DeAngelo is a half a point per game D man playing 19+ mins per game being relied upon more since he doesnt have as good teammates around him. He is also deployed in a defensive role with a 54.9% Defensive zone start % at even strength. He does get some PP time also.
Dermott scores at about half the rate that DeAngelo scores at while playing sheltered minutes (over 57% offensive zone starts at even strength) behind Rielly and Muzzin on a better Toronto team. He plays about 17 mins per game. He is about 1 year younger so thats about the only thing going for him in this comparison, along with limited PK time.
IDK how you justify Dermott over DeAngelo. DeAngelo is clearly the better player right now.
Buchnevich vs Hyman:
Buchnevich scores at about a 0.6P/GP rate while playing on a bad NYR team with not much help offensively besides Zibanejad. He has a 51% d zone start % at even strength and gets some PP time. He is also 3 years younger than Hyman.
Hyman also scores at about a 0.60P/GP rate while playing with a stacked TOR offence where he gets fed by the likes of Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, or Marner. He has a 51% offensive zone start % and gets some PK time. These stats scream Conor Sheary to me - He benefits from playing with elite linemates and would regress significantly without them.
I would take Buchnevich over Hyman 100 times out of 100.
As for the SIgnings:
Im not even going to talk about the Marner deal cause theres too many posts about that and im getting sick of it
You are severely underpaying DeAngelo. What 0.5P/GP D man is going to take a 3 year deal for only 2.5M AAV? it would be closer to 4.5M AAV.
Brassard, even after his regression this season, would probably still make double what you signed him for.
Hutton could also easily make 1.5-2M or more on the open market
