Or is there a way for the Maple Leafs to sign their checking dynamo to a long-term deal? Hyman is the big story for the Leafs this week, as the league turns its focus to the expansion and entry drafts. As reported by the Star’s Kevin McGran, it is believed Hyman, a 29-year-old unrestricted free agent, is seeking an eight-year, $40-million deal from the Leafs. If the Leafs can somehow pull off a financial miracle and sign Hyman, it is expected a deal will not come until after the expansion and entry drafts. If the Leafs want Hyman as part of their core group, they likely will have to remove someone else.
