Oilers: Five Players That Could Make A Big Impact In 2021-22

2. Zach Hyman

The Edmonton Oilers need Zach Hyman to be that top-line forward they traded for. He is someone that plays well with the stars and he could be an impactful player this year. Personally, I think that Hyman is going to put up his best point total ever on a line with Connor McDavid.

Hyman and McDavid are both going to benefit from this new pairing together. While obviously, Hyman is the addition to McDavid, he still is a good enough player to make big-time money.

Hyman will be called upon in all situations this season. I could see him on the power play or even at times moving up and down the lineup depending on the situation. It is up to the team to use him correctly and try and find a winning strategy with Hyman on the ice.
