Zach Hyman Has Agreement In Place With Edmonton Oilers

July 28, 2021 at 9:18 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 33 Comments

July 28: Per PuckPedia, the breakdown of the deal is as follows:

2021-22: $1.55MM salary, $1MM signing bonus
2022-23: $5.1MM salary
2023-24: $7.65MM salary
2024-25: $7.7MM salary
2025-26: $5.425MM salary, $1MM signing bonus
2026-27: $2.175MM salary, $3MM signing bonus
2027-28: $2.65MM salary, $1.25MM signing bonus

The deal contains a full no-move clause in the first five seasons and a 21-team no-trade clause in the final two years.

July 24: The Oilers and Maple Leafs could not reach an agreement, according to Darren Dreger of TSN, so Hyman will wait to sign his contract when free agency opens on Wednesday. That limits the deal to seven years in length. Dreger also reports that the cap hit on a seven-year deal is $5.5MM.

July 23: After weeks of speculation, The Toronto Sun’s Terry Koshan reports that the Edmonton Oilers have a contract agreement in place with Toronto Maple Leafs forward Zach Hyman. Whether or not the deal is a sign-and-trade or just an acquisition of rights remains to be seen, but it’s extremely likely at this point that the Oilers will be acquiring Hyman via trade prior to free agency opening July 28th.

Recent rumors would suggest that when all is said and done, Hyman will be signing a seven- or eight-year deal in Edmonton. Bally Sports Midwest’s Andy Strickland reported yesterday that the cap hits on both deals would come in at around $5MM. Hyman has displayed the ability over the past few seasons to be one of the best complementary players in the NHL, something that could work wonders for their secondary scoring. Potentially playing on Edmonton’s top line with Connor McDavid and Jesse Puljujarvi has to be an extremely exciting prospect for Hyman, who’s likely getting more term and money in Edmonton than Toronto was ever prepared to offer him.

Toronto’s search to find a new top-six-caliber left-winger begins now if it hasn’t already. They’ve been linked in past weeks to Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi, who’d come much cheaper to the team than Hyman realistically ever would have. There’s also the long-shot big name in Gabriel Landeskog, who’s becoming estranged from the Colorado Avalanche in contract talks and could be looking for a new home. Regardless, the Maple Leafs have to look forward without Hyman, who’s been a core part of this team’s rise to regular-season success over the past half-decade.

      I think Lowe changed his name to Chiraelli and then to Holland. Can’t be sure, of course, but the proof is in said pudding!

      It really isn’t though..you can’t even sign a player for that. Sign him for 5for 6 and if he won’t find different player KEN!!even then I bet year five looks bad. Cmon KEN, DONT DO IT!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE MCDAVID LEAVE?!!!!!

    He is trying to lower his cap. A 7 year deal would probably have an AAV of 5.5. An 8 year deal comes closer to 5. That 500k savings each year is big. That is why they are trying the sign and trade.

      Its a 375k (5.5 vs 5.125) savings which is nothing compared to a 2nd or 3rd Dubas is demanding. Kyle should settle for the 6th or 7th like most GMs would do, or he’s going to get absolutely nothing at all. And all the while also making some GMs potentially leery of dealing with him in the future if he’s acting like this. He’s actually saving Hollands a$$ by not having a longer buyout after year 5

    Yea unless it’s an 8 year deal they plan on signing him to it’s a bad move, that would be 2 back to back which is really out of character for Kenny

      Not really. In today’s market, $5 million isn’t an overpay for Hyman — the guy’s not at all a flash in the pan. Now giving him $5 AND eight years would be.

    I cannot think of one salary I would want to add to the Leafs that’s on the Edmonton roster. Maybe Nurse. But that’s it.

      Draisaitl at 8.5M would be your best player immediately and be cheaper than Marner, Tavares, and Matthews.

      Nurse is a left handed Ristolainen.

      (No, that’s not a compliment.)

      Except Nurse puts up more points and isn’t -1000 on his career.

      Yeah, he was “smart” before the salary cap, with all the Little Caesars money he could freely spend.

    The Oilers have poor people syndrome. They’re not accustomed to having extra spending money, so when they do, they spend it all on the first dumb thing they see. I also suffer from this.

      @Raps902420 – Yes, but look on the bright side. You typically have a 15-30 day return window; Holland does not. ;)

    Hello,
    Can you change the word betwen the word ‘first’ & ‘seasons’ from ‘ten’ to ‘5’? Please & thank you.

    “The deal contains a full no-move clause in the first ‘ten’ seasons and a 21-team no-trade clause in the final two years”.
