Hyman for 5x6.5M is gonna be rough. Players like him usually don't age well and he's gonna be 29 next week.

Apparently it was just speculation. The media figured that they needed something to troll Leafers about because they've had it too easy these past few days...

the real question is how much of his production are do to playing with Mathews/Marner, Tavares/Nylander, could be seeing the next Ladd type contract here

Do you have a source? That’s nuts, his best season is a 41 points season! He should not get more than 5M in my opinion. I don’t know what he expects to get if that’s true.

ik I was just poking fun at the situation lol

Not true.

Looks like Hyman's agent and Seravelli have denied the rumour.

It's all over instagram

No way Holland offers Hyman that. He's currently offering Nuge less and Nuge is a more valuable player IMO.

How does Hyman justify a bigger contract than Toffoli?

I mean if he plays with Mcgod and pizza party he'll put up 70 plus easily

I'm just poking fun at the situation I say he signs anywhere from 4.25-5 mil

Hmmm... at 5v5 he leads Leafs forwards in 2nd assists and his 60.53 IPP is among the lowest in the league. Yup, he's a complimentary player and largely a product of playing with superstars.

Similar numbers to Zack Kassian over the past 3 years, actually. There's no way he's worth $6M+.

This was meant to be taken as a joke. I say he takes anywhere from 4.25 to 5 mil

Lots, obviously. Anytime you're the third wheel on a line with two players like that, you're bound to see a production increase. I will say though, for a period of time this season he was playing 3rd line RW away from those guys and that was maybe the most impressed I've ever been with Hyman. He busted out a whole new skillset that I didn't even know he had because he's normally playing a certain type of role in the top 6. He ate the lesser competition alive with Mikheyev and Engvall as his linemates.
