Edmonton can sign Hyman to an 8 year deal after they make the trade, but it has to be prior to free agency opening.

No, only Toronto can sign Hyman to 8 years and that ability expires once free agency begins.

The Maple Leafs could sign Joseph Woll or Nick Foligno or Zach Hyman to an eight-year deal. They cannot acquire Dougie Hamilton in trade and then sign him to eight years.
For players whose contracts are running out — pending UFAs — this ability to sign eight-year deals expires at midnight before the opening of free agency.
