<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stammer_Time91</b></div><div>I like Jeannot and I think he's really gonna help out our bottom 6 going forward. I'm not a Cal Foote hater, but I'm not very high on him either. Sucks to lose him and all those picks because he is probably our biggest piece of value that was in question to get moved, other than prospects or roster players who aren't going anywhere. Can't wait to see how he fits in. Yeah we don't care about picks, but as every year goes by, it's going to get harder and harder to compete at the deadline, which is what this team has done the past 5 years. Bringing in key additions that stick around and make the team much better. McDonagh, Coleman, Gaudreau, Hagel, Paul, Rutta. We'll see how it pans out and what else JBB does from here</div></div>

Jeannot is a beauty of a player and Seravalli tweeted out wondering if Jeannot would sign for 7 years at $2M. As for my Leafs, Engvall turtled against Brandon Hagel in the playoffs and tucked his tail between his legs. I hope he knows he's going against Jeannot now

It's a solid trade for Tampa. As usual most fans view all draft picks are the same. They'll all be future hall of fame superstars. Of those 5 picks JBB gave up you'll be lucky to see 1 make the NHL.

When you have a core like Tampa you can afford to make this trade. Losing 7D Cal Foote isn't exactly a monumental loss. But man how will Tampa ever recover losing that 5th round pick? It's devastating!

Jeannot provides a physical ingredient Tampa lost when the Cap forced them to gut that sledgehammer line they had. Coleman, Goodrow and Gourde. You're not getting Jeannot solely for his goals and points. It's the physical element he brings to augment the skill guys.

That's what Leafs fans don't understand. It's all about goals and assists and points with them. Dirty dangles, sick snipes and fancy stats. Regular season glorification. And they wonder why Toronto never advances past the 1st round. So they'll make fun of Tampa and pretend the Leafs are better.

You see it's okay for the Leafs to trade for ROR. But TB trading for Jeannot is apparently "stupid." Nothing hypocritical there at all! 🤭

Tampa is all about winning Cups. Remember what Stamkos recently said. "We don't care about picks." If Tampa wins the Cup this season, that saying should be put on t-shirts. 🤣

It was quite rich last night when the Jeannot trade happened and Leafs fans were calling Tampa "stupid." Well you'll find out how "stupid" they are when the playoffs start. Good luck with that! 🤭

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>I think that Hyman can get more in UFA, particularly when there are cap floor clubs like Detroit that are severely lacking in right-handed shots. In that case, Nino would be a great pickup for Toronto.</div></div>

Niederreiter And Hyman are completely different players and Toronto already have enough Niederreiter type players.

This notion of Hyman getting $6M a year on a long term deal is getting a little ridiculous and it's nothing more than Toronto media making a story. So you're telling me that he's almost worth the same as Nylander? Or Pastrnak? Or more than Konency? The reality is he's a hard working guy that was carried by 2 elite linemates. He's 29 and has a history of significant knee injuries that will affect his long term play and his style of play doesn't help that. $6M right now is his ask. Players always start high and teams always start low in talks. It's called negotiating. I'd honestly be shocked if Hyman gets anything more than $5.5M if he went to the open market but I wouldn't be shocked if he signs for around $5M in Toronto with heavy signing bonuses and it's announced right after the expansion draft
