Hyman does fit with McDrai, just like he fit with Matthews and Marner. Thing is, who cares? That line already scored a lot. And they sucked anyway. So now they’re paying Hyman a bunch of money to skate on the same line and collect points. Oiler fans will say “hey, look, Hyman got 2 assists” and think he was a great signing. But those two goals were getting scored anyway.
CF has the Oil with 11.2M in Cap space and they haven’t recorded Hyman or Smith yet. So now they have $4M to sign or replace Yamamoto, Kahun, Khaira, Barrie, and any extras like Chiasson, Ennis, Patrick Russell, Koekkok and Kulikov. Yamamoto’s gonna want over half that money. They can’t sign Barrie.
