Remember when Leafs fans said that contract the Oilers gave him was terrible? 
So when are people gonna start talking about Zach Hyman?

2nd in the NHL for even strength goals.
Best UFA signing in Oiler history. A role model on and off the ice. Absolute beauty man, love the player. He absolutely deserves a spot on Team Canada.
Lol. Luck doesn't have anything to do with it. The guy worked his absolute bag off to get where he is, and continues to do so every single night. From a late round pick, to bottom 6er to 40 goal man. The guy has earned every ounce he has ever gotten.
whenever people want to wind up either fan base they create a thread like this
He also contributes, he's not just some passenger picking up random points. We saw it first hand in Toronto, how many board/puck battles did he used to hustle for and win, which he had no business winning ? He's one of the best forecheckers in the league, great defensively and knows how to get his top guys the puck and then the IQ to be in position without the puck.

Maybe he is a superstar lite too?
I would have never said that a few years ago, but hes a clutch dude that you want to wear the Maple Leaf. Good player and ambassador for the game. Agree w you.

because lol Jets
Good for Hyman. He's finally playing with a center that can think the game on his level.

Crazy that Hyman became a better goal scorer than Draisaitl.
Draisaitl can do it without McDavid allegations proving false.

hope he gets 50. although Hyman will never get talked about like he really earned it. I mean okay yeah he earned it but along the same lines as Cheechoo
he's a new version of Cheechoo. you take him and put him on any team and I dunno I would question if he puts in these numbers.
wouldn't mind him back if he played like this although I dont think he would be all that close to what he is right now if he stayed

to be fair with us he had alot of injuries and was hard to see it being worth his ask with us atleast. we just simply couldn't afford him and he earned his raise. never had an issue with him leaving and still dont. good to see him do well.Remember when Leafs fans said that contract the Oilers gave him was terrible?

Along with having every team he played for growing up purchased by his dad.

He’s good but it’s natural for people to wonder how many of these are tap-ins from McDavid:
At least Hyman offsets probably the worst free agent signing in the cap era in giving Jack Campbell a 5x5 contract after the season he had with the Leafs. I mean what in the HELL was Holland thinking?!??!?!?!
Nah there are worse. Looking at goalies Brzygalov got a 6 mil aav deal in 2011 (rates to 8.5 mil today), Jeff Finger, David Clarkson.
Auston Matthews for half the price40 and 19? Auston Matthews wannabe

This is intended as more a compliment to Kunitz than a knock at Hyman
But I see him as sort of a modern Kunitz. Excellent support player who gets some career years (so far) complimenting a super star, but in a faster and more open offensive era
He’s a legit great players but I think he’s only of multiple players now having career years with this team (Barrie, RNH)

He's having an off year, it can happen to very good players. Just look at Matthews, he put up a putrid 40g, 45a last year
Finger was mehhh, but his contract was relatively cheap. Clarkson and Brzygalov both had decent/good seasons under their belt before they signed their big contracts. Campbell meanwhile played only one season where he approached playing the amount that a starting goalie does and his playoff numbers with the Leafs were bad going into free agency and he still got a 5x5 contract. I mean if you're going to give him 5 million a season at least make it a shorter contract so that you get out of it faster if you make a mistake.

Matthews led the team in goals last year both in the regular season and playoffs, even with a damaged wrist and missed games.
Draisaitl seems to have been carried by McDavid. Hyman looks like a better goalscorer than him.

Cmon you really don't want to be bringing up playoff numbers when doing a Draisaitl Matthews comparison. Just pretend playoffs don't exist.

It's relative to the team. Matthews abysmal year involves him leading his team in goal scoring. Draisaitl gets separated from McDavid and he's 11 goals back of Hyman.
