How Hyman went from 4th liner to elite goal scorer
Zach Hyman had a career year in 2023/2024. Once labeled a 4th line checker, how did he become a 54 goal scorer at age 31? Jesse Pollock puts the Oilers’ forward, Into Focus.
He went from a 4th liner to an elite player and it’s not hard to figure out. Darn, a fire hydrant is good for about 30 goals playing alongside McJesus …Hallelujah
Take a 20ish goal scorer, place him with the best player in the game and another good player, profits? You honestly can't call Hyman an "elite scorer" , put him on his own line and see if he can even do anything.
Elite goal scorer? He will never come close to this total again just like Nuge last year with 100 points to not even a point a game player this year. He is at the end of his prime and a lot of those goals either banked off of him, took very little skill etc…
Elite goal scorers can take over a game which Hyman can’t do that.

Hyman was on the Leafs first line
The 'Jonathan Cheecho effect'

You could have a pylon be an elite scorer playing with McDavid
Worst contract of all time. /s

"A silver-spoon kid who doesn't play like it". Well said, good line.
How? Because you don't get points checking for Matthews and marner, you get points being wide open for McDavid.
He is just a product of his environment

So the take away from the salty leaf fans is anyone could get these points next to McDavid, hyman is a low skill bum benefitting from his situation.
For how much hype Matthews and Marner get you think they would have been able to elevate Hyman?
Connor McDavid that’s how.
3 games into the playoffs, Hyman has the same amount of GOALs as the Leafs entire team!
If your saying that Hyman is benefiting off McD- then your calling Matthews and Marner "mid".
This guy plays wing to McDavid like Chris Kunitz did to Sidney Crosby.
Wears that 18 🇮🇱 with pride Happy Passover to all who celebrate. Great player and an even better person.
McDavid, McDavid, McDavid
