[Artnes]

Follow a few of the smarter Oil fans and in their opinion has done more harm then good considering what he inherited

 

[zeke]

Can the Leafs have him

Is he bringing Connor with him?

If not, please no.

 

[Preston]

His Ekholm trade alone was better than anything a Leafs gm has done in at least two decades.

Hyman contract pretty damn brilliant too. Made plenty of mistakes but you can't say he isn't bold. Leafs have needed bold for awhile now.

He don’t care about leaving a clean, crisp balance sheet

 

[Artnes]

Let's not act like Holland didn't hit the power ball jackpot with the Hyman deal.

That was no stroke of genius

Definitely some sloppy work and nowhere near the best gm in the league (though better than Tre, hence my comment!). But a few of his ballsy moves turned that franchise around and took them to a level that the Leafs have never been at.

There are moments where you need to plug your nose and abandon the clean crisp balance sheet philosophy if you think it can help you become a top 2-3 team in the short term. That's arguably better than a slightly longer window being a top 5-7 team like the Leafs.

Yeah, he knew he was getting a good player, may have even anticipated a Connor bump, but no human on the planet, including Hyman himself, knew what kind of production would follow.

the 2yrs before he signed Hyman:

Even Strength:

Z.Hyman: 25gl/50pt pace
J.Tavares: 22gl/53pt pace

Yeah, 10 of those 25 goals each year were empty netters probably.

 

[MindzEye]

jesus christ the Tavares move was a fucking era killer.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Hyman's last 3 years in TO:

6 of 21 goals into the empty net = 28.5% of total goals.
4 of 21 goals into the empty net = 19% of total goals.
2 of 15 goals into the empty net = 13.3% of total goals.

Tavares' 6 years with the Leafs:

184 goals, 4 into the ENG = 2% of total goals.

Well ya, you can’t play JT in the last minute with a lead.

Not with that hairline unless it's a photo of Zeke at 13 yrs old.
