Quoting: Jamiepo
I just go by what he says. Most times I don’t take statements like these at face value but with Hyman you know he really means it.
I think and hope he does mean what he says, but just because he says he would love to stay in Toronto, doesn't mean he wouldn't entertain the idea of playing elsewhere for more money.
I'm not too worried about losing Hyman to Seattle (or to anyone really, because I think he means what he says), but if they leave him exposed, even as a pending UFA, there is a legitimate, albeit slight, chance that Hyman becomes a Kraken.
