Ryan with Draisaitl and Hyman with McDavid may facilitate that, but hard to say.

As you say, if they're actually rolling lines too then McDavid is seeing less ice time, so does the production overall even budge?

No question they're even more vulnerable on the other side of the ice too.
I have to repeat this every time someone says Hyman improves the team. If he ends up just being a winger for McDrai, that just isn’t the case, whether he is better than previous wingers or no. And if he ends up on a different line (say, with RNH) and they are still together, welcome to limited ice time Zach.
