I don't get this McCann deal from a Toronto perspective. Sure he's at risk of being exposed to Seattle and has had inconsistent play to make his value not the highest, might be closer to a 3rd and a prospect, but the rest of this just doesn't make sense.
1. You trade Hyman's rights - well what if Pittsburgh signs him (which would be their intention) - & you've now just traded a 3rd and Hyman for McCann. Which is a terrible deal for Toronto.
2. If you trade for McCann before the expansion draft then you need to protect him - and if you don't (I assume you've still protected the core 4 plus Rielly, Brodie, Muzzin, and Holl by the looks of it - should be Dermott but that's whatever), so why wouldn't Seattle just take McCann who's younger and has more team control? Then Toronto just traded a pick and Hyman for literally nothing.
This just makes no sense as it is. Good idea going after McCann, just bad execution here.
