Further to Friedge's report: Word is that an eight-year contract for Hyman with the #oilers would come in a shade under the $5.125M AAV on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' recent deal.
A seven-year contract for Hyman would be closer to $5.5M AAV. https://t.co/LozsslxyOF— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) July 22, 2021
Zach Hyman will be an Oiler, maybe this afternoon. He made the only move he could to end up with a better centre than he had most of the time on the Leafs.
Hyman came to the Leafs in a trade for Gregg McKegg after Hyman had a huge points year in the NCAA.
