I think part of it is math whiz Dubas made a few calculation errors over the years and out smarted himself in a few areas.

He signed his top four forwards to really big contracts...that impacts what you have left to sign complimentary pieces.
Nylander held out. Marner pushed for the absolute most he could get. Tavares was an open-market deal, which is always going to push the numbers higher. And Matthews is one of the best players in the league. He was going to get paid very well (and will be even higher soon enough).
I think this is just the way the cap works. You can't keep everyone. For the Leafs, I don't think that they made a mistake with those four being valued above Hyman, and they had Michael Bunting put up 63 points in the #5 spot for them last year at a fraction of the cost.
There's a good chance they eventually lose Bunting too...it's how the cap is supposed to function. You can't horde good players.
I love that Hyman is here, he's been a great add. But I don't think it requires a bunch of schadenfreude towards Toronto here. That's misplaced, and the Oilers are going to have their own issues on this score as we move forward.
