So when are people gonna start talking about Zach Hyman?

[Brookbank]

I wonder if he grew up as a Cheechoo fan

 

[McFlash97]

The back half of that deal was always going to be ugly and was the reason the Leafs let him walk

Lol. What a bad take.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Lol. What a bad take.

How so?

 

[Cup or Bust]

He is playing well only difference is the puck hasn't been going in. The whole team has had that problem so far this season, not just him. It will though.

 

[Mr Positive]

He hasn't been behind the play at all

I'm not worried. He doesn't have to be a 54 goal scorer again to be great. That was just wacky

exactly, he's still doing the little things right and playing the right way. Points will come. Hes not a passenger.

 

[Gnome17]

Could have scored 4 today. Missing easy onetaps, failing on breakaways, on and on. So snakebitten. But hes involved.

 

[syz]

Currently 3rd in the league for individual expected goals for, behind Hischier and Matthews.

 

[SimpleJack]

Snakebitten? Maybe he's just high....man.

 

[benfranklin]

Im sure a lot of us coudlve guessed a regression. I wouldve thought Skinner would steal his goals though.

 

[ijuka]

How so?

He's near the top in NHL in ixGF, it's pretty different to be snakebitten than to actually be a ghost.

 

[McFlyingV]

Hence the “quick” downward turn. It only takes a slight drop off because of age combined with playing style to see a sharp decline. This is the nhl. Gaps between success a failure are tiny.

Yeah I don't see it. He's skating as well as he ever has and is getting endless scoring chances. Just in a serious slump when it comes to finishing.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Lol. What a bad take.

I predicted it when the idiots in Toronto let him go. He's as dedicated to the game and works as hard as Crosby. He has improved leaps and bounds EVERY single season. He's not a reckless crasher and banger. People citing his playstyle don't watch, simple as put. Not only that, but his skating specifically has improved significantly to the point where it's a great skill of his now.

Awesome player and person and should be a captain in the league. He never wore a letter in Toronto, except for 1 or 2 games. I also predicted Rielly's fall off, but the Leaf homers told me I was wrong.

Hyman's scoring 40 goals minimum this year.
