Zach Hyman has turned into not only one of the Edmonton Oilers' best free agent signings but arguably among the best since the NHL's salary cap era began in 2005.

Hyman signed a seven-year contract worth $38.5 million in 2021 after the Toronto Maple Leafs were unable to keep him given their cap situation. His $5.5 million annual salary now looks like one of the league's biggest bargains.
