I’ve also really come around on Hyman. Term of 7 is a big meh, and 5.5 is probably 500k or more of an overstuffed burger but for what he injects into this top 6 is something we’ve sorely lacked.
I’m not so worried about this team 4-5-6 years from now. We need results now. Results now makes those 4-5-6 years from now easier to attract players as well.

I'm OK with Hyman at 5.5 for 3 or 4 years, risk after, but if he falls off a cliff, a buyout option is roughly only $1.8M, and I'm one that believes the cap goes up by then, and effect on roster will be reduced.

Buyout after 4 years would mean that cap hit is on the books for the next EIGHT years. Look at how much money the best teams in the league have tied up in dead cap space. It's generally quite small. They find any other way to rid themselves of bad contracts, but they don't typically spend anywhere close to what we do on people who don't play here any more.
That's a significant issue because we could add really good players with the amount we've sidelined. We will have over $4MM in both of the next two years. There are only five players on the team who make more money than we have in dead space. We could almost afford a second Zach Hyman with it. It's hard to contend when you're working with only 95% of what the best teams have available to spend.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
