Thread: Hyman is not going anywhere stop trying to sign him
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>If the Leafs wait to re-sign Hyman for expansion draft reasons, there's legitimate reason to think he will leave. Money is one of the biggest motivators out there and Hyman can get more of it somewhere else.</div></div>

It's a completely different situation with Hyman. It's one where the player loves the situation he's in, the coaching staff loves him, management loves him, and Hyman grew up a huge Leafs fan. If it wasn't for the expansion draft m, he'd have an extension already. I'd be shocked if they already don't have a handshake agreement in place but are waiting until the day after the expansion draft to announce it for obvious reasons.

If you think money is the issue then you've got this all wrong. Toronto actually has the advantage when it comes to cash. Most teams are struggling right now in terms of real money where Toronto isn't and never will. They can offer Hyman more than anyone can in signing bonuses which puts more money in Hyman's pocket in a tough financial time. That would help bring the cap AAV lower to something where it fits in Toronto's number. I personally don't think he touches any number with a 6 starting off his salary and would be shocked if it's over $5.5M. I can't see him getting more than a $5M cap hit with the majority of it in signing bonuses (something very few teams in the league can do) and a full NMC. It would be more term to help lower the AAV too.

Wouldn't be shocked to see him sign at 6 years x $4.75M with his base salary being $750K each season and a $4M signing bonus each season. ... that would be to stay in Toronto.
