Description

I've been seeing this quite a bit in the past couple of days and I really don't get why the caps would do it. Both players have put up extremely similar stats the past couple of years, so why would the caps want the older player with 6 (!!!) years left?

I haven’t seen it tbh. Seems like this helps Edmonton and the long term, but tbh I’d rather have Hyman for the next couple years anyway.

No idea, I mean I’d rather have mantha but hyman seems to fit in really well in Edmonton so why would either risk it?

Yeah I've seen this trade twice... from the same guy. Don't look too into it, just one guy's opinion.
