First of all I would like to thank the Toronto Maple Leafs for letting Zach Hyman walk during free agency. If the Leafs were willing to get off their wallet then Hyman would never have come to Edmonton.

Scoring at least one goal in every game Zach Hyman was a very important player in every game. I think he may have scored the most important goal in the series. The shorthanded, game winning goal he scored in game two turned the momentum in the Oilers favor.

In game 5 he was moved to the first line to play with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. As soon as he got moved up he seemed to ignite those two players. Hyman brings an energy a drive to which ever line he is on. He never gives up on a play and disturbs things in the offensive end.

I don’t know if he will start the series with Leon and Connor on the first line or not. If he is then he should be able to create chances all over the ice. If not he will make whichever line he ends up on better. He is a solid player that can help you on any line.
