why would edmonton do that

Edmonton can then sign Hyman at 5.15 million versus 5.50 million on the cap. Plus they unload 8.3 million they hav3 to pay Kefblom over the next 2 years.

Leafs gave up a first to unload Marleau for 1 year, why wouldn’t Edmonton do same. They save 8 million real dollars and 500,000 a year versus cap for the Hyman contract.

With that 4 million maybe they sign another free agent. A guy like Hoffman would be a great start on a decent 2nd line, plus 2 nd power play and could be had for 4 x 4 million.

The Leafs had a healthy Marleau on the roster not a guy on LTIR with 0 cap hit

Hey feel free to disagree but the oil then have 8 million dollars they can spend. They don’t have the budget in Edmonton that the leafs do to absorb that hit.

Maybe it’s a second instead of a first. The point is the leafs sign Hyman and trade him. Plus the leafs take Klefbom contract off oils hands.
