Hyman is awesome and you guys will absolutely love watching him play. Contract has a ton of risk at that term - but hopefully you win a cup with him and hes a big part of it. Sometimes you sign bad players to bad contracts. In this case, you're signing a really good player to a bad contract so hopefully the first 4 years are awesome.

I'd love to grab Ryan Murray on a cheap deal

Ditto his comments from me. He’s always going. When nobody else on the team is working on a Tuesday night game in Florida, Hyman is. You guys will be glad to have him. He excels down low. I always got the impression that was Drai’s strong suit and less so McDavid’s, so I could see that working out as a potential line mate as well. But he makes whatever line he’s on better. Wish him well.

SPEEN!
What exactly are the Oilers "winning now"?
Do the Oilers even beat Winnipeg with Hyman? How many goals did he score in the Montreal series for Toronto?

Hyman at 5x8 is a lot better than anything north of five. The term is eternal, but I care more about cap hit.
So basically Holland has already accepted that McDavid and Draisaitl are leaving? that's always nice to know
Then why do you love Tatar so much? He's never helped in the playoffs
And no not on his own but he would of helped
Kind of my thinking. We will have bigger problems in 5 years then the Hyman contract if we don't win. Hyman at least offers a strong solution short term that can help us win.
Can you name the teams that have won anything in this league with that philosophy?
The low games played is definitely the only thing I got thinking he could stay good longer.

Time is a flat circle.
I don't, I've said I don't like the player, but if the option is having one of them on a 1 year deal and the other on a freaking 8 year contract, I take the 1 year deal if neither is putting you over the top.
The Oilers probably are well aware that if they do not make significant progress over the next 3-4 years, which would likely mean a conference final appearance at absolute minimum, they'll be gone. Mcdavid will be 29 by then, his prime years all but gone.
I mean, it's just the reality of the situation. A situation that the egregiously stupid management in this organization put themselves in. Mortgage the future right now in an attempt to win, and MAYBE keep both of them beyond the 4 year period. Or, sit on your hands and definitely lose them after the 4 year period.
Tyler Johnson's contract sucks right now and they won back to back

Yes, you are correct, the fall comes fast for sure. I think Hyman helps in seasons 1/2 for sure. Starting in 3/4 it likely comes down to health and how he's being used. I would have some questions about his ability in season 4 though already likely. Season 5-8 are going to be a disaster, no doubt about that at all.
The one thing that is very likely to occur is the cap rising quite a bit by season 5-8. If he signs for 8 years, 5.1 M will look a lot less painful in those years (same for RNH as well).
That's because they need MORE than just Hyman. THat is how shit garbage our forward depth is lol
We also need Yammo not play like garbage again. We need Nuge to step it up at evens
Hyman kills Nuge at Evens, which is what we need on this roster

Would not be shocked it either broberg or yamamoto are heading the big smoke

Yup, this is the reality. It's not a reality that I'm happy exists, but that doesn't make it any less true.
They're not willing to mortage futures. When have they EVER traded a 1st round pick to help the team? 2006 was the last time.
They're not willing to do that. They're willing to sit on that shit forever but make stupid overpayments in free agency and/or lose trades.
That's their philosophy, the "it's the price You havE to PAy!" philosophy.

Tatar has done nothing in the playoffs, hyman has done nothing in the playoffs.
Tatar has been much more impactful offensively in the reg season.
They are only a year apart or so in age.
Tatar is not going to cost a monster ultra risky contract and perhaps other assets.
OR, he wants them to win something before they age?
Could that be it? I am fine with this philosophy. Offer term to start WINNING
It's done, Hyman wouldn't fly his family out like that if they were just in a negotiation phase.
It's the same thing when they flew Lucic and his family in to town and he signed a couple of days later.
