Hyman won’t be the odd man out he isn’t even a trade option.

Hyman would be a great edition to any team, but he'll be in Edmonton a long time. Hyman put a lot of consideration into picking where he wanted to play and settle down with his family. He picked Edmonton and has a full NTC until 2026-2027. No chance that he waives that clause for anywhere, and the Oilers won't move him unless it's a crazy overpay. He's so valuable in the playoffs. Realistically even if Hyman didn't have the NTC it'd take a young elite goal scoring winger to pry him away from the oilers

I think duclair would be the one as I can’t see oilers moving Hyman, not unless they are 100% confident in Holloway which I can’t see at this moment

I watched every Oilers game this year, and the second most impressive single effort i can recall (McDavid skating through 4 NYR defenders was glorious) was Hyman on the PK. He stripped the puck and skated all over the ice with it for what seemed like an eternity. It completely demoralized their power play. His determination in his play is just off the charts, and he showed he can put the puck in the net too. I’m happy he has at least a 7 year stay in Edmonton and I bet leaf’s fans miss him already.

What MK548 said is true, he seems to be building his family with that very same determination, and chose the city of Edmonton as the place to do it. I just don’t see him waiving his NTC.

I like Jan rutta. I do not like the idea of him playing the minutes you’d need him too

would you rather have Pettersson there?

No I’d rather have dumo there. Or at least keep POJ. Why would we get rid of two LD and leave only 2 on the roster?
