Impossible not to be happy for the guy, always smiling.

[@user-qy1vl1km4f]

What about Berkshire?

[@andrewweinerman3628]

He’s so freaking likeable

[@marcoohello]

Zach Hyman is the epitome of a genuinely humble hard working guy. He is an example to many young hockey players on and off the ice. He is relentless with the puck, always battles hard, never gives up. A loveable team player. His many contributions to charity, the guy is a living legend. My favorite Oiler. Zach you bring so much joy to Oil country and we can't wait for you to hoist that cup with that affectionate smile. All the best sir Go OILERS Go

[@jeniasmackay7931]

He's truly an amazing player and person

[@marcoohello]

Great win last night and guess who with a hatty. Mr. Zach Hyman

[@I_amTurok]

He doesn't do anything😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 McDavid makes him look good, he's been a 10 goal 40 pt guy his entire life. He's going to ask for millions and put up huberdough numbers😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks Dubas for letting this 50 goal scorer, heart and soul, powerplay/penalty kill specialist at 5.5 million go. BRAVO!!

[@vmi4172]

First, he's not a 50 goal scorer playing on Mathews line. Second-He's no "heart and soul" player. Tf you smoking? Third-Yea he's still worth $5.5 but how many forwards do you want your Leafs to pay??? Your team is already basically nothing but 4 forwards. Im no fan of soy boy Dubas but he couldn't afford to hand out this contract to what was a spare part on the Leafs roster.

[@christopherrego8706]

@@vmi4172 May not be a 50 goal scorer but certainly at least 30-35. No one goes the corners like Hyman he was perfect on the Matthews line, so yes heart and soul player who plays on both special teams. They could of and should of moved money around to keep him, starting with say trading Kerfoot or not signing Tavares

[@stardawggunrocks5152]

​@christopherrego8706 nail on the head, the GM doesn't review who needs a contract day of and if there isn't enough cap space, whoopsie! Didn't see that coming in the off season, aw shucks! They decided Hyman wasn't worth keeping and that one decision is all you need to know about what Kyle Dubas doesn't know about hockey. Brutal to watch domi and bertuzzi, who I like just fine but they arent Zack Hyman back then let alone now, getting paid hyman's salary. What is the complete opposite of brutal and warms my blue blood is watching a long as hell Zack Hyman tribute video where this absolute stud and gentleman is getting the recognition he deserves, McDavid is lucky to have him even if Hyman is luckier to have McDavid as a linemate. Good for him, hope he lifts the cup a few times over there and Dubas has to explain his rationale and how he didn't have the cap space to keep him in his next few job interviews.

[@Adam-go8oz]

It's nice to see him acknowledge all the positive people in his life that supported him and helped make it possible. Hope he wins the cup this year.

[@zigfield723]

He's just an awesome human being. Edmonton is so lucky to have a person and athlete like this. Now bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada!!!!

[@Evan-hockputer]

He's definitely worth every penny

[@RayzorFilms]

Was at the game against the capitals, lost my hat to Hyman. Came to my first ever playoff game for game 1 and lost the new hat I just got to him again. Doesn't happen by accident. dude's elite and will go down as one of the best close quarters players.

[@ReddyFox73]

This guy is a class act .Is there any team in the league that wouldn't want this man on their roster ?

[@jeniasmackay7931]

This is beautiful!

What. A. Beauty.

[@garettnelson1]

Thank you McDavid.

[@OilersAfterDark]

Congrats on the Newborn!

[@jedi5262]

Number 1

[@vrwgq3q]

Undeniably effective. He does all the little things right, without drawing alot of attention and I think without expending unnecessary energy - playing consistent and gaming a full 60 minutes. Very very smart. Elusive. Yes, anyone playing with the best centers like Sid/McJesus are going to benefit, but he was the most effective leaf in the post season in years past as well. I don't think any one thing that stands out in terms of his competency, but I'd bet his hockey IQ is right at the top. Mark Stone like player with a history of double digit +- even without being on top lines.

[@douglaslee5597]

Quite thhe target for McDavid and a n incredible powerhouse on his own.

[@vmi4172]

Im not gonna lie, as a Wings fan when Holland signed Hyman I was like here we go again🙄 Bonehead Kenny overpaying and over-terming another veteran player🤦‍♂ But this signing has become IMO the best he ever made🤷‍♂

[@kato7962]

Love ya hymes 💙🧡 LET'S GO OILERS 🧡💙🧡💙

[@curtiswhite6662]

Hat trick game 1!!!!!!!!!

[@GhostlordGames]

I don't think its doubting his career by saying the fact that he hit 50 goals is because of McDavid. Anyone playing with McDavid would have a major influx of points.

Dudes a 10 goal scorer his entire life. Mcdavids made him. Without mcdavid he goes back to 10 goals 40 pt seasons

[@andrewcotton421]

With the leafs .. he was a 30 goal scorer if healthy and got to play all 80 ish games. So your far off on the 10 goal player. But McDavid certainly elevates everyone to even more.

[@I_amTurok]

@andrewcotton421 look at his stats man maybe not 10 but he has more less then 20 seasons the above. He will get a nice raise good for him, but he's the next huberdough

[@rrhev]

He is ok. But he comes from a wealthy family and seems really privileged.

[@RicBucky]

You seem really nice

[@EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK]

That does not make a person.

[@LemmonyQuack]

Yea let's judge people by the way they were born, that's great.

[@Adam-go8oz]

You shouldn't discriminate someone for being born privileged. Also he seems like a very nice, kind, hardworking person. Most people on here commenting on beyond privileged in many people's eyes. You should work hard with what you've been given, be a good person, give back, and enjoy your life.

[@andrewcotton421]

Rich/privalledged doesn't produce a heart and soul player. Soo your point is moot.
