Report: Oilers, Flames, and Canucks believed to be front runners for Zach Hyman

The Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, and Calgary Flames have emerged as the frontrunners for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Zach Hyman, according to a report from The Toronto Star’s Kevin McGran.

Hyman, 29, is coming off a season in which he scored 15 goals while adding 18 assists through 43 games playing mostly alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

Other teams that are believed to have shown interest in Hyman are the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers, and Detroit Red Wings.

Hyman is coming off of a four-year contract that paid him $2.250 annually and is due for a rather significant pay raise.

Hyman wants to remain with the Maple Leafs but has reportedly received offers that are higher than what the Leafs are able to offer him at this time.
