Blackhawks: 3 Toronto Maple Leafs free agents to consider

It wouldn’t take long for Zach Hyman to become a Chicago Blackhawks fan favorite.

Players like Zach Hyman usually become fan favorites in a town like Chicago. He is the type of player that gets under people’s skin but can also produce offense. The nice thing about Hyman is that he can play on all four lines depending on certain situations and he doesn’t have a problem with it at all. Of all the players on this list, the Leafs would be the saddest about losing Hyman. He has been so good to them for a long time.

Hyman came up through the ranks with the Maple Leafs and that is the only organization that he knows. Now, entering his age 29 season, he is looking for a brand new contract. With all of the money the Leafs already have locked up, he is more than likely going to be gone. The Blackhawks would love to have a player like this.

In 43 games this season, Hyman had 15 goals and 18 assists for 33 points. He had a 52.1 CorsiFor so you know the Leafs were always more dangerous when he was on the ice than the average NHL player. If you added a player like him to the Blackhawks, they would instantly be a better team. He could play on the fourth line or play with Parick Kane so you know he would fit right in.
