The oilers have the cap space to add him. They are in desperation mode so they will be aggressive. Plus they are always looking for that guy to play with McDavid. I think they have the least risk signing him because you can put virtually any player with McDavid and he’ll put up good numbers. And Hyman has shown good chemistry playing with dynamic players.
The canucks have what might be the worst cap management GM in the league. They have so many bad contracts it’s crazy to think they could sign another top six forward. Especially since they have to find ways to pay Hughes and Petterson both now and when they need big raises in 2-3 years if it’s true they are going to be signed to bridge deals. Not sure Hyman really makes sense for them.
There’s lots of pressure on Treliving to do something to win now. Not sure if Hyman is the best target for that but I feel like Treliving will be aggressive. If they get Hyman, I think that takes them out of the running to get eichel.
