Just gonna throw this out, Mattias Ekholm has played 134 games for the Oilers and has +84, that's an insane stat. Incredible trade by the Oilers, makes a world of difference for them.
Ekholm has easily been one of the best trade deadline acquisitions the Oilers have made in years, and Hyman is the same but for free agency pickups. Such beauties.
Hyms has been criminally underrated since signing the contract. Works hard, goes to the net and is a positive presence on the team. It's impossible not to like the guy.
Here’s the thing: yes, he benefits from playing with McDavid, but that doesn’t tell the full story. McDavid also benefits from playing with him because of his ability to forecheck and get to the front of the net. They both compliment each other
exactly...If it were easy, every McDavid line mate would have 50 goals. He has high IQ to know where to be, he knows how to finish, and he works like a dog on a bone. Hundreds of players have played with McDavid, only a select few have been able to achieve what Hyman has.
Hyman doesn't get enough credit for being ABLE to play with McDavid. He's genuinely a difficult player to play with. There's requirements. And he just happens to have all the necessary tools to be an effective McDavid winger.
Oilers is always great this time of year Zach Hyman is been getting his goals back Skinner has had over .900 on every match since Nov 23rd apart from Floridas match Drai & McDavid continue to be themselves Arvid is back and putting up points again Ekholm amazing since coming here, +84 since coming to Edmonton gotta love it when this team goes on a heater
Countless amount of players have played wing with McD, none of them are close to the production of Hyman. Regardless of the McD effect, 31 other teams would kill to have him.
Hyman is legit, he should have been on Team Canada but what can you do. Another guy that isn’t getting love is Darnell Nurse, he’s been a beast the last month or so
Should have traded Matthews he gets all the credit and none of the hate. Possibly the most overrated player in NHL history and extremely selfish. If he signed long term originally Hyman probably would have been signed.
Zhack Hyman is definitely one of the best trades the Oilers have done in recent history. Definitely Mattias Ekholm as well. We've definitely gotten pretty lucky with our trades as of late. A couple more insane trades and a cup would be automatic. My vote is to get Laferniere out of New York. Anyone who can do such a filthy toe drag, to a one-foot glide and finish it off with a karate kick to Bobvrosky while scoring a goal? Instantly loved in Edmonton hahaha
okay kinda funny you say don Sweeney might be interested, I think he would help Boston a lot but they won't move him, he's great with Edmonton and loves playing there too much to be in trade conversations.
@johnathonkelly5117 Yeah, that's why I don't see him being traded because Edmonton has for years been trying guys like puljujarvi, and many others alongside McDavid and Hyman brings that and so much more.
They also tried Ty Rattie, Drake Caggiula, Kailer Yamamoto, and while they might not have played in the same line with McDavid, notable names like Ryan Strome and Kyle Turris were on the team a few years back. Maybe perlini as well but I think he became a bottom sixer at that point after his injury playing in Detroit.
Yeah, he’s really good. I completely agree. It’s not just tipping but being a leaf fan have you checked his stats from when he was a leaf? He didn’t score hardly at all and then he goes with a team with McDavid and scores 50 goals
He’s a good defenseman. I’m assuming he’s just having an off season. Maybe it’ll tank his price for contract renewal next season and we can resign him to cheaper deal. Make up a bit for that $9 million/year Nurse deal.
In true Oilers fandom fashion, “Hyman has been lights out lately” “Ya, but Bouchard is terrible”. It’s constant. Mcdavid is carrying the team Goaltending isn’t good enough Nurse Nurse Nurse Bouchard Defense isn’t good enough Can’t score You know it’s nearly impossible to have every aspect of a team performing at 100% of their capacity 100% of the time?! Give it a rest already, see you on the bandwagon in April.
@ you got that right. Might be a blessing but he’s hurting the team too often. I’ve been a nurse fan since he started and it’s totally not his fault, I’d take that pay day too but he has one of the worst contracts in the league. Basically cup or bust this year far as I’m concerned. Mcdavids contract is going to hurt the team overall.
In such a short tournament like the 4NC quick chemistry is paramount. To not pick your best player’s super productive linemate because he had a slow month and a half after he’s repeatedly proven himself for several yrs and several long playoff runs is just asinine! Massive fail by team Canada management!
Absolutely not LOL they had way better options and picked them! Scheifele is the only player you could make a strong argument for being on team Canada (+Thompson in net).
I get what he's saying. Not a fluke, but last year could be his best year. Hyms works so hard consistently, it's good seeing the puck going in for him again after the slow start.
Team Canada gonna look like idiots for not taking a guy like Hyman. Mark stone or Hagel over Hyman yeah right lmao they must be snoozing. Hyman is great offensively and defensively and your net front guy on the PP. he just checks like so many boxes blows my mind he’s not on team Canada.
@@armswar I’m not arguing your point, it’s valid. Who else should we replace Stone with? Or will the 4 Nations ignore NHL LTIR status? Somehow Knights gotta circumvent the cap, why reinvent the wheel?
Who cares if Hyman is a Product of McDavid, how many players clicked that well with Crosby, Malkin or Ovechkin ? God knows Bedard would need a similar kind of player as well. Those kind of players were undervalued back in the 90’s … oh he’s just a Gretzky/Lemieux merchant, but since Cheechoo they became rare to the point of non-existence. Btw say what you want about Cheechoo but he still got the sharks record for most goal in a season and the 9th best in very few seasons. Every team should enjoy their Hyman’s while it lasts.
all the respect on the guy but being "just the tap in for macdavid" is not a dissrespect. hes not mcdavid but being "a rifle for the best sniper" is not a disrespect. he is a good player, but a LOOT of people who are making WAY less than him could have made those number with those players he played with. i love hayman but lets be real here.... mackinnon and rantanen cant pump up numbers like mcdavid or mathews.... hayman was passer with mathews and a goalscore with mcdavid... hes sick ofc but hes not a first liner montreal or predators or vegas... hes a "specialist" who compliments a player who can take over a game.
About Mcdavid merchants. Connor Mcdavid has had a dozen linemates over the years who could barely get 10 goals a season. Obviously it benefits to play with Mcdavid but time and time again the proof shows you need to be a good player already be affected the most by him, he was never able to elevate average to poor players to a high degree. The only exception was one year Maroon did well playing with him, but then went back to not playing well with him the next year
Only an idiot wouldn’t put Hyman on that team. By the time the best player gets used to his teammates the tournament will be over. The best scoring dual in the playoffs where it counts are not together just laughable Go USA Go.
Appreciate the Ekholm shoutout. That dude has been a beauty since joining the Oil. Quickly became a favourite.
Just gonna throw this out, Mattias Ekholm has played 134 games for the Oilers and has +84, that's an insane stat. Incredible trade by the Oilers, makes a world of difference for them.
I think he is the most underrated D man in the NHL.
Ekholm has easily been one of the best trade deadline acquisitions the Oilers have made in years, and Hyman is the same but for free agency pickups. Such beauties.
Straight up. Too bad most people following and speaking about the nhl are absolute morons who can’t recognize how good he is
Always said he was super consistent the moment he joined the Oilers, glad people are noticing.
Yup and for what they got him for is probably the best part of the trade 😂
Zach Hyman, aka Black Eyeman
People have always said that Drai was a McDavid merchant too, and clearly hes putting that to bed this year
Hyms has been criminally underrated since signing the contract. Works hard, goes to the net and is a positive presence on the team. It's impossible not to like the guy.
Hyman is the first Winger to really click with McDavid, besides Drai. Key ingredient! Eckholm was our best trade in decades also..
Here’s the thing: yes, he benefits from playing with McDavid, but that doesn’t tell the full story. McDavid also benefits from playing with him because of his ability to forecheck and get to the front of the net. They both compliment each other

Skinner has had over .900 on every match since Nov 23rd apart from Floridas match
Drai & McDavid continue to be themselves
Arvid is back and putting up points again
Ekholm amazing since coming here, +84 since coming to Edmonton
gotta love it when this team goes on a heater
The injured Hyman plays better with a mask than some players without one.😇 and Not everyone can play with Mcdi well ))
Let's go Oilers!😜
Countless amount of players have played wing with McD, none of them are close to the production of Hyman. Regardless of the McD effect, 31 other teams would kill to have him.

Whos spot would he take? Lol he isn't that good
He deserved to miss it even though hes a fantastic player.
Nurse is a fine defenseman, but not at what he's making.
He has absolutely no business being on team Canada LOL even Scheifele was omitted and he's a WAY better player!
@@UrkaZerka scored 54 goals last year, not that good? come on now.
Merry Christmas to you too
When are you going to talk about the sens
he mentioned them losing to the oilers lol
@@hibby21 hes salty abt the huberdau high stick lmao
Laughs should have kept Hymen and traded Marner. Hymen is 10x tougher than Marner and doesn't disappear come playoff time
Should have traded Matthews he gets all the credit and none of the hate. Possibly the most overrated player in NHL history and extremely selfish. If he signed long term originally Hyman probably would have been signed.

Hyman signed with Edmonton as a RFA, he wasn't traded
The Ryan Smyth-ness 😂
Playing with McDavid? how did that work for Yakapov? Pullijarivi? Fogle? etc etc
Also, I’m commenting to boost this vid in the algorithm 👍 great channel!
I too shall comment
Ekholm and Hyman the backbone of the team, McJesus and Leon are the face
Hyman is back!
okay kinda funny you say don Sweeney might be interested, I think he would help Boston a lot but they won't move him, he's great with Edmonton and loves playing there too much to be in trade conversations.
Not to mention the chemistry with McDavid, you can't put a price on that
@johnathonkelly5117 Yeah, that's why I don't see him being traded because Edmonton has for years been trying guys like puljujarvi, and many others alongside McDavid and Hyman brings that and so much more.

He would help a lot of teams, and it’s crazzzzy the leafs let him go for free
Yeah, he’s really good. I completely agree. It’s not just tipping but being a leaf fan have you checked his stats from when he was a leaf? He didn’t score hardly at all and then he goes with a team with McDavid and scores 50 goals
Bouchard has been horrendous this season. The turn overs can’t be ignored.
He’s a good defenseman. I’m assuming he’s just having an off season. Maybe it’ll tank his price for contract renewal next season and we can resign him to cheaper deal. Make up a bit for that $9 million/year Nurse deal.
In true Oilers fandom fashion, “Hyman has been lights out lately”
“Ya, but Bouchard is terrible”.
It’s constant.
Mcdavid is carrying the team
Goaltending isn’t good enough
Nurse
Nurse
Nurse
Bouchard
Defense isn’t good enough
Can’t score
You know it’s nearly impossible to have every aspect of a team performing at 100% of their capacity 100% of the time?!
Give it a rest already, see you on the bandwagon in April.

Agree, a little Hyman and McDavid magic is likely more valuable than a higher stat player
Yeah he's been good. The 4 nations not giving him some love sent him on a hot streak.😊
It’s our year this year, boys!!
Black Eyeman is on fire. 🔥
The power of the fishbowl is pretty epic
Im kinda surprised you don't completely hate the Oilers lol
Also, Hyman having 50 goals because of rich parents is wild (i forgot who said that)
Why would anyone hate the Oilers?
what reason does he have?
@@toke7342 Flames fan.
He's luckily one of those hockey fans that can appreciate good hockey stories/players without being blinded by team bias
@@toke7342 because they can
I do think 50 was a fluke but i wouldn't be surprised if he hits 40+ again
Ha ha. How can be 50 be a fluke if 40 is expected? Funny.
I get what he's saying. Not a fluke, but last year could be his best year. Hyms works so hard consistently, it's good seeing the puck going in for him again after the slow start.
Hyman is channeling his inner Marchand
In Oil country we love Buster
It’s the fact that ekhome and hyman became the best players on the team after what feels like a steal of trades
Hyman was not traded to the Oilers, the Leafs didn't resign him and he came to Edmonton after being a RFA
Hyman has always been a dog. Probably the hardest working player on the oilers.
Team Canada gonna look like idiots for not taking a guy like Hyman. Mark stone or Hagel over Hyman yeah right lmao they must be snoozing. Hyman is great offensively and defensively and your net front guy on the PP. he just checks like so many boxes blows my mind he’s not on team Canada.
Naw 4 nations doesn’t need Hyman. Hyman could use a break during 4 nations to get his nose right to win a cup 🙃
@@armswar I’m not arguing your point, it’s valid. Who else should we replace Stone with? Or will the 4 Nations ignore NHL LTIR status? Somehow Knights gotta circumvent the cap, why reinvent the wheel?
Where’s that kid that always complains about no Oilers content?
He finally gave us some content
Zach rules, so happy we got him.
"Him and the twine are on a first name basis" lol
McD's tip in man
Who cares if Hyman is a Product of McDavid, how many players clicked that well with Crosby, Malkin or Ovechkin ? God knows Bedard would need a similar kind of player as well.

Lol what was that rich parents thing about last year? I never fully understood it 😂
Jonathan Hockey is the straw that stirs the drink
