Zach Hyman's Dad must be paying for him to score again

[5 14 6 1]

So as many know, Hyman didn't make Team Canada 4 Nations roster. He started slow (I'd say unlucky with the quality of chances he had early) and then got hurt. A 54 goal campaign and 16 goal playoff from an all situations warrior wasn't quite good enough for the likes of Sweeney and Armstrong it seemed.

Since coming back from injury he has 8 goals in 7 games, and has scored against and beaten both the Team Canada GMs who snubbed him.

To add, he is currently playing through a broken nose from a puck to the face last game like an absolute warrior. He returned to that game too and very nearly completed his hat trick.

Safe to say this snub isn't looking great now, especially considering his ability to PK and work with McDavid.

Hyman is a dawg, and I hope they find a spot on the roster for this guy.

He's the heart and soul of the Oil. Brings it every shift and every game. Not too shabby for the "worst contract in NHL history".

Yep, a 5.8% SH% will do that to you over those first 20. Last year he was 18% in the reg season and 17.7% in playoffs. 13% the season before.

He's up to 14.3% now on the year which is much closer to normal production for him.

You guys know that key players not making that team is good for your club, right? That guys like Bouchard, Hyman, Draisaitl will be resting while Eichel, MacKinnon, Rantanen, etc. will be sweating their balls off 20 minutes a game.

Yup, and ekholm will drill Eichel through the glass.

Bouchard not fitting team Canada is really funny but oh well, I guess they can afford a bit of sandbagging.

Always liked Hyman as a complimentary piece but he has become an important cog and beast of his own for Edmonton. Tough call to leave him out of the Canadian squad but he his making Canada Mk II as that would also be a strong force. Would love him on the Bruins.
