As the new NHL season approaches, I think Edmonton Oilers fans are excited to see what Zach Hyman will bring to the ice. Hyman has been a key player for the Oilers over the past few seasons, and fans are eager to see if he can continue to grow and develop as a player.

Hyman is known for his hard work and determination on the ice, as well as his ability to contribute both offensively and defensively. Last season, he scored 36 goals and had 47 assists, which was a career-high in both categories.

However, Hyman is more than just a scorer. He is also a strong two-way player who is not afraid to get physical and play hard in the corners. He is a valuable asset on forecheck, for this reason, he is relentless on the puck.

One of the things that makes Hyman such a valuable player is his versatility. He can play on any line and in any situation, although I wouldn’t expect to see him out of the top 6 at all this season. His work ethic and determination make him a great teammate and leader on and off the ice.

As the Edmonton Oilers look to make a deep playoff run this season, Hyman will undoubtedly play a big role in their success. He has proven himself as a reliable and consistent player, and fans can expect him to continue to work hard and contribute in any way he can.

The one big question mark around Zach Hyman coming into this season is, was last season a fluke or is that the new Hyman? Before last season his points per 60 hovered between 2.0 and 2.4. Last season it jumped up to 3.1. If this is the new Hyman then the Oilers are lucky to have him on their team. Overall, Zach Hyman is a player to watch this season.
