So, how many millions are we talking?
"The rumblings have been really interesting," Seravalli said. "Talking to another manager yesterday, they were saying that they think Zach Hyman is gonna be in the seven-year, $6-million-per neighbourhood. So that's significant coin." |
Yes, and one person speculating $6M does not justify his claim of $7M.
Also, Hyman was 'looking for $5M' from the Leafs, clearly they are not offering it, or he would have signed. So Seravelli's quote of 'leaving millions on the table' could just as easily mean $5M elsewhere, or $4M with the Leafs.
I am always amazed at how quickly fans escalate expected player signings. Remember the angst over Gio 'wanting $9m'? Or the Gaudreau negotiations?
