NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, Seattle Kraken, and the New York Islanders

Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star: (mailbag) The Toronto Maple Leafs have pending unrestricted free agents in forward Zach Hyman and goaltender Frederik Andersen. Unrestricted free agents don’t need to be protected for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft.

Guessing what type of contract Hyman and Andersen could get – a five-year $4.5 million per deal for Hyman and a three-year deal somewhere between $6 and $8 million per for Andersen.

Do the Maple Leafs try to re-sign Andersen before the expansion draft and expose Jack Campbell and Michael Hutchinson or do they hold off on Andersen and protect Campbell and risk losing Andersen in free agency?
