In regards to Hyman, he’s the opposite of Brouwer in my eyes. A guy who drives play and produces well. If we do land him, I like the player profile and I think it shows a strong change in approach towards free agent forwards. The term will be problematic, but he’ll be a good player for the first half of the deal and that’s an improvement on those disastrous Neal/Brouwer signings.
Signing a player like Hyman, signing Darryl Sutter, and signing Jacob Markstrom all in the last calendar year? That shows me that Treliving is improving as a general manager.

A contrarian viewpoint may include the notion that the owners helped influence the Sutter signing and that the verdict is very much still out on Markstrom as he was a below average goalie on the whole last year
Tanev was pretty good though
