Hyman has 69 total goals this season.

[Ol' Jase]

It’s absurd how this guy has produced throughout the entire season. The fact that he could potentially hit a total of 70 was unthinkable at the beginning of the season.

He's one behind Matthews 70

Reinhart at 66 probably is out of the race, who wins?

 

[norrisnick]

Nice.

Hyman has been phenomenal since arriving in Edmonton. Might just be one of the greatest UFA singings ever when said and done.

Pronger was a pretty good UFA signing for you guys back in the day too. 2006 just needs to be bested with a couple more wins and I’ll give it the thumbs up.

Pronger wasn't a UFA signing for the Oilers.

The Oilers acquired Pronger via trade with the Blues. Edmonton shipped Eric Brewer and two prospects to St. Louis.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Wow that's really










Good.

 

[Melrose Munch]

that's nice

I mean it was a forced trade due to lockout salary negotiations and it was a trade and sign.

If we are only strictly talking about UFA signings then nobody is beating out the Chara pickup.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Nice

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

He's gonna pass Matthews. Would be quite the story.

What are you arguing here? You said he was a UFA, he wasn't.

What is the point of this response?

That they acquired and signed a pending UFA in Chris Pronger that led them to a cup final. You wanted to get technical with the UFA aspect, and I just pointed out that it is close enough to bring up.

I guess you are so used to being in arguments on here that you thought we were in one, but that is just a simple conversation, and if you want an argument, leave me out of it. Cheers.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Thanks, Toronta

Thank Boy Wonder for that little gift, Oil fans.

Saved Holland from giving up a pick or two, and Dubas just let him walk for free.

Crazy that Matthews wanted him off the team because he thought he was too good to play with Hyman

Chris Pronger wasn't a UFA when the Oilers acquired him.

They certainly wouldn't have traded Eric Brewer and two prospects for a pending UFA. Pronger was a restricted free agent that the Blues couldn't even qualify because they were purging salary due to the new economics of the league and, more so, because the team was for sale and they didn't want Pronger's new long term deal on the ledger.

As an RFA he needed a new deal and signed a five year pact with the Oilers at $6.25 million hit.

 

[La Bamba]

Nice.

Lol. That’s not even remotely true.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Worst contract ever

 

[McGarnagle]

Niiiice

 

[tabness]

Matthews 70 in less games though, also his drip/60 is off the charts

 

[Z-Diddy]

Connor can bank it in off my dead grandmother, she still gets 5 this season, nice...

Yeah I’m not sure why Matthews is even being mentioned in this thread. People are trying to compare Hyman to him and it’s honestly apples to oranges. Hyman is having an incredible year and I love the guy, but adding up different totals to make it sound like he’s on the verge of a 70 goal season is a bit weird. Just celebrate the career year he’s having for the commendable accomplishment that it is, instead of trying to make it something that it’s not. My biggest wish for Hyman this season is that he gets his name engraved on a Cup.
