Our media is really desperate. Don’t ask the Oilers player about the Oilers.

Are we really still asking him about being a former leaf? Move on media.

Not sure what’s worse between the thousands of Marner posts on this sub lately or the constant Hyman revisionism instigated by the Toronto media…

Can we just not with this shit? Please?…

Why are they asking him about three years ago, who gives a fuck. Ask him about his situation now and the fact that he’s literally in the Cup final.

Ugh Dubas.
All he had to do was less! Just sit on your hands, draft every year, and re-sign guys who want to stay.

Dang didn’t know someone held a gun to Hyman’s head! Thought he chose a NMC and a little more money.

I was upset when he left the leafs. Leafs lost out on a good player. Go Edmonton Go!

Who asked the question?

I don’t believe he would be the same player he is right now if he stayed so it is what it is.
I’m more mad at them not signing Bunting when he signed a short deal a good money.

All Dumbas had to do was trade Nylander for a haul and we could have kept Hyman and improved our d core all in one fell swoop.

It wasn’t our decision either, Zach.

Why was he even asked? It’s been 3 years

Toronto media trying to make everything about the leafs even though they haven’t played in like a month. No wonder everyone hates us.

Dubas is an F tier Gm

Why even post this in the Leafs sub at this point? Hyman will be remembered as an Oiler now when he retires, no one will remember him as a leaf.

I’m not even the biggest Dubas fan but I hate this discourse.
At the time, Hyman was a career .4 playoff point per game performer, who peaked at 41 points in the regular season playing mostly with a combination of Matthews, Nylander and Marner. He had two major knee injuries, wanted 7-8 year term, $5+ a year, and a full NMC.
The Leafs, based on the information at the time, made the right choice. Letting him go and signing Bunting for pennies who gave them an average of 23 goals and 53 points over 2 years at less than $1M cap hit, which out paced Hyman’s career highs with Toronto, was actually great maneuvering and use of their limited cap space.
Hyman has had a subsequent arc that is honestly without precedent in the NHL. A guy going this far behind his career highs in his late 20’s is an insane trajectory. NO ONE predicted this. If they did, he’d be making 8-9M a year, and not what he is. It sucks for the Leafs, but this complaining is so much revisionist history. Sometimes, you make the “right” choice based on all the information available to you and it turns out to be wrong. Thats the nature of making these decisions.

Oilers fan here.
You guys think this is bad? When we defeated the Kings in 2022 and Cody Ceci scored the GWG, one of the first questions he got in the post game was about the Leafs loss to the Bolts in Game 7.
Canadian hockey media everywhere can’t keep Toronto out of their mouth because they want to drive clicks. 💀
