Hyman's Oilers Redemption: Best Free Agent Signing

0:00It's March 29, I'm Cory with the story. This is NHL News today, driven by AI and Bill for fans. Zach Hyman signed a 7-year 38.5 million dollar deal with the Emmington Oilers back in July 2021 and Toronto Maple. Leafs fans trashed it as one of the worst free agent moves ever. Fast forward and he's flipping the script, becoming the best free agent signing in Oilers history, topping even legends like Craig McTavish. Lately, Hyman hit his 30th goal of the season in a 4-3 overtime win against the Vegas Golden Knights on March 26th, his third. Time reaching that Mark and Edmonton. Meanwhile, the Oilers' other recent free agent picks like Victor Arvetson, Jeff Skinner, and Andrew Mangipani have been panned out nearly as well. Fans adore Hyman for his grit around the net and off-ice vibes by writing kids' books and going viral with a young reporter. His wrist injury in last year's playoffs hurt the team. Bad imagine if he played in the Stanley Cup final.

1:02Even got snubbed from Canada's Olympic squad despite scorching hot scoring. This year, since returning from injury in November, he's got 31 goals in 55 games with a plus 12 rating. At 33, his contract runs two more seasons, but his fitness keeps him prime for years ahead. With eight games left, the Oilers sit second in the Pacific with 83 points, chasing that playoff spot, and Hyman's fire makes every point. Count, he's worth every dime and then some.
