I know everyone wants a rebuild, but that isn't happening. If they are looking to make the team better, Hyman is a good candidate to be part of that.

Over the last 2 years, he has a highre PPG than Monahan, Backlund and Mangiapane. He would slot 4th among the Flames, only behind Gaudreau, tkachuk and Lindholm. He is a top 6 winger for sure, and maybe a good fit with Gaudreau and Lindholm.

To say that isn't worth $5M is laughable. He is totally worth $5M and I love the way he plays - exactly the kind of guy the Flames need.

Seven or 6 years is of course frightening, but if that is the price you pay to get a UFA, then so be it. The cap will be much higher by then and if you have to buy out he last couple years, whatever.

I think he would be a great add. Better than Hall actually (for what the Flames need), and he will be cheaper.
