The Leafs lost him because Dubas mismanaged the budget by paying way too much for four guys, and leaving nothing much for the rest. This is completely on DUBAS. Same for Anderson (like hime, or not).
If you watched Hyman after his return to the Leafs last year it was almost unfair to talk about the Leafs Top 4 Forwards, he was good enough, smart enough, skilled enough to have been in that grouping. It was a Top 5 that's now back to being a Top 4. Hyman is going to rock in Edmonton. A great acquisition by the Oilers that gives them offensive depth and oh yah he can kill penalties too.
Dubas should trade Marner for Hyman for playoffs purposes lol, Marner can be injured more often than Hyman, also good signing for Edmonton for long term and trade bait when needed
Not upset to lose him for that. Not even the money but the term for a grinder like Hyman could be a disastrous contract in a few years time. That being said enjoy him now oilers. Hardest working player you'll have on your team

Good for a guy like Hyman to get paid, he’s had to work for everything he’s ever got. But it’s a mistake to give him a contract like that.
This one hurts 😢
In my opinion even with his 'hard work' he's $1-1.5 mill over priced. His play performances speak for themselves.
Love this trade but my gawd we lose bear
🙅♂️👊🤬😭☹😔😒😬
Like it for Edmonton
Hard worker
This sucks
It will be good for Mitch and Auston to see some buddies leave because they swallowed all the money. Greedy pricks!
This is outrageous. Holland is the worst GM in the nhl! This is not what smart organization’s do. Worst!!!
It’s a damn shame
What are they smoking how is 7 years,5,5 million for Hyman great contract.
We couldn't give six million per for the lulz?

Signing Tavares may have sounded great at the time but it rather screwed up the team in a cap crunched system
0.49 Awesome. Hinduism karma logic. What we do in our previous life dictates our present life.
Toronto couldn't afford Zach, Zach is an elite nhl player. thats all there is to it . Cap , it's called cap. Don't blame the leafs .

Fire dubas if we don’t win a series next year
Dubas has screwed the leafs
I like his style, hard worker who can make a difference.Too bad Leafs.You didn't appreciate what you had.
