[Leafs Links] Friedman: “Zach Hyman and the Maple Leafs are preparing for the eventuality that this is not going to work out”; Johnston: Hyman looking at six-year, $5.5-6 million contract in open market

On the Lead Off, Elliotte Friedman discussed the latest intel on Zach Hyman’s future and the Leafs‘ level of interest in pending UFA defenseman Dougie Hamilton.

Friedman on the latest talk around Zach Hyman’s future:

It is pretty clear to me that this is going to be an enormous challenge to bring him back. This is a year where he is a valued player. There is going to be a lot of interest. I just think it is going to force everybody to make a decision. I never like to say any outcome is certain because we still have time, and you never know what will happen.
