Nugent-Hopkins isn't taking the same AAV without longer than 4 years committed to him. He'll likely be one of the top free agents and will get more than that.
If Hyman signs that deal, it's in Toronto. He's not leaving. Team loves him. Hyman loves the team. They have the room for him. He's not moving anywhere.
Ullmark likely gets longer term, and it's not high enough AAV for him if he's moving to Canada due to the slightly higher tax rate.
& that's a massive overpay for Tyson Barrie. He's really not that good. He's helped out by playing top PP minutes with McDavid and Draisaitl. He's a defensive liability and makes poor shot decisions in the offensive zone. He's not worth anything over $4M and teams are gonna overpay cause they're blindsided by point totals
