From Elliotte Friedman’s latest 30 thoughts:
“30. Finally, circled back around Zach Hyman, the Michigan forward who informed Florida he will become an unrestricted free agent in August. Normally, teams don’t try to trade for this kind of player, knowing they can get him for free in a little more than two months. But there does appear to be some interest (maybe to wine-and-dine him in advance, who knows?) from the likes of Detroit, San Jose and Toronto, among others. No doubt the Panthers would love to get a pick out of it, if possible.” (Friedman)
Hyman was drafted in the 5th round by the Panthers in 2010 and recently lit up the Big-10 for 54 points in 37 games playing with the University of Michigan.
