That isn’t improving significantly with Mavi… they got the same production with Nothing-Happens playing wing and seen in the latter half of the season he can’t drive his own line. The Oiler continue to be the embarrassment of the NHL and the worst team in North American professional sports by a large margin.

This. Instead of putting money towards their forward depth or their defense… they’ve put money towards their top line… which didn’t need it.
They could have gone after a player like Danault for this kind of money and term. A guy that could make their team deeper and could add a function to their team - a shutdown centre. Someone that could do something/add something to the team when McDavid/draisaitl are not on the ice.
Their team will still have that enormous drop off the second McDavid/Draisaitl are not on the ice because Hyman is going to be playing with one/both of them.
