Dom Luszcyszyn from the Athletic actually has Hyman has the 4th best UFA available after Hamilton, Landeskog, and Ovechkin. Ahead of guys such as Hall, Grubauer, Krejci, and Danault.
I won't pretend to know what all of the analytics he's looking at mean, but in summary he says that Hyman has borderline top line play driving ability, an awesome forecheck, and decent puck skills in zone and transition. He's confident that Hyman will be very valuable for at least 4 more seasons given his ability to do the dirty work in a top 6 role and bury his chances at 5 on 5.
