To me Hyman is a product of the Toronto media and is a nice player who should be looking at the Toffoli deal and not a max term deal at $7M.
I honestly feel like this is Treliving screwing with Holland after the Oilers tossed the big 7 year deal at Marky last offseason.
End of the day I think Hyman does better playing with McDavid than he does with Monahan but regardless it will be an overpay in the first year or two and will be a future buyout

Hyman is a play driver...or at least looks to be. Could he be the piece that turns Gaudreau - Monahan - ? into a competent even strength line? Then we roll Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane and that's the top-6?
I like Hyman. But 6 or 7 years is absolute madness. On a 5 year deal, years 4 and 5 likely look rather bad...6 or 7? Eeep.
