This is going to be an unimaginably bad deal.

I'm expecting Lucic bad.
I hated that deal when it happened, and I'm already dreading this one.

Well if Hyman is signed for 8 years I guess all we can do is cheer him on. What an idiotic contract that would be though

If it was only 7 years we wouldn't be negotiating with the leafs and offering a pick. It's obviously going to b 8 years and with that kind of term better be 3.5 per year max 0r we have once again been hosed
Oilers' potential long-term deal with Zach Hyman not pretty, but necessary - Sportsnet.ca
Hyman spent the day in Edmonton with his wife Alannah on Wednesday, checking out a city that may become home to them and son Theo — who is not yet a year old — should Hyman decide to become McDavid’s left-winger for the rest of his hockey life.
So, what are you going to hate about this deal? The term, that’s what.
In an effort to keep the Annual Average Value as low as possible, Holland is planning to offer Hyman maximum term. That move defines trying to win a Stanley Cup in the nearer future, as the lower AAV will leave Holland more cap space with which to build.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have given the Oilers permission to host Hyman and speak with agent Todd Reynolds. As a free agent suitor, Edmonton can sign Hyman to a maximum seven-year deal, which would come in with an AAV of around $5.5 million.
But if the Leafs — who can not afford to sign Hyman — trade him to Edmonton, then Holland can offer an eight-year deal with an AAV of closer to $5.125 million — exactly the deal signed by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on June 29.
So you can hate the term, which is truly excessive for a player who turned 29 on June 9. But if you are someone who expects Holland to go for it at every opportunity — someone who is constantly reminded of the wasted seasons of McDavid and Leon Draisaitl — then these are the kinds of things you had better come to accept.
So, why Hyman?
As UFA left wingers go, Hyman is in the Top 3 this summer along with Taylor Hall and Gabriel Landeskog, should the latter get to free agency in Colorado. Landeskog will command a much higher AAV, however, while Hall is happy and set to re-sign in Boston. He and Edmonton are two ships in the night that simply will not pass again.
Hyman, meanwhile, represents exactly what is required on McDavid’s left flank. A right shot left-winger, Hyman has played more than 60 per cent of his NHL minutes next to Toronto superstar (and McDavid friend) Auston Matthews, where he has thrived.
Hyman is a cerebral player who knows what his role is and how to maximize it. His points per game average has gone up in each of the past four seasons, and he was a leading penalty killer and first-unit powerplay player in Toronto.
While McDavid has become as adept at scoring as he is at feeding his wingers, Hyman has made a reputation as a guy who can do whatever is needed as well. The biggest addition to Edmonton’s Top 6 — and to McDavid’s line — is his ability to score down low. Garbage goals, rebounds, tap-ins…
Edmonton lacks that player. McDavid lacks that player.

The term certainly will be but I’m praying it gets the AAV down to 5, that’s not great either but whatever..lol

I'm here, I'm bored
I want clarification on why Larsson left.
If he wanted a change of scenery from where his dad passed, I will completely understand.
If the rumour is true that he left because he couldn't handle the 'one for one' outrage, I hope we booo this player every shift after his initial ovation.
Let's be sure to be loud supporters of Keith, Hyman, and anyone else making the choice to come here in the coming weeks.

Honestly I think its so dumb to trade for Hymans rights. The Oilers have no draft picks themselves. If Hyman wants to sign with the Oilers, make him wait.

Spector will be calling this signing an unnecessary risk within three years.

Tbh I don't really care if we give Hyman 7-8 years because we aren't going to be competitive in 5 years after McDrai leave anyway.
Whatever it takes to keep the cap hit down so we can win now.

I’ll bet RNH identical. They trade for his rights, 8 years 5.125.

These numbers being thrown out by media for Hyman makes me want to vomit.
