Hyman's career high in goals and points was 21 G 41 pts in 71 games.
First year as an Oiler playing with on of McD or Leon as his center, 27G, 54 pts in 76 games, career high. Last season 36G, 83 pts in 79 games playing with one of McD or Leon as his center. Do I expect Hyman to score last years numbers every season? Of course not but do I think he will be higher than his previous career high of 21 and 41 for most of the seasons in his contract? Yes I do.
I know you don't like to say anything remotely positive about anything Oilers but is it unrealistic to think Brown could potentially improve on his career highs to some degree? No it is not.
|
It's not. The potential is certainly there. I would just caution against expecting that to happen, there is some risk of a career average year. Which makes some risk of team expectations not being met before Drai's contract is up.
|
There is risk with any free agent signing. Heck, there is a risk with players who are already under contract. If we weren't up against the cap the Brown signing would not even be a talking point. We can deliberate the signing all day long, but the proof will be in the pudding and we need to see what the regular season brings us. The player is a solid gamble, but the deferred money sucks. I would take a recovering Brown over a smallish injury prone Yamo or Puljujarvi on most days.
Weak UFA pool and the team needed move all-in. This is Holland's gamble and the future issues of the deferred money is next years problem.
|
I agree. There are so many things that can happen we don't know about. People want the Oilers to go for it. This is going for it. Apparently Brown had offers from other teams for around 4 mill. I assume they were probably weaker teams and he wanted a chance to win plus the chance to probably play with McD and potentially super inflate his numbers for a big contract. There is risk in every single free agent deal but I think this was a pretty good bet to try.
|
*IF* Brown did get offers around 4 million, it's another failure from Holland not to leverage playing with McDavid and having a totally legit chance to win a cup into a smaller 'show me' contract. Of course it seems more likely that rumor was created to justify blowing up next year's cap. Better hope the cap goes way up next year because this is looking a lot like the only chance the Oilers will have to go for it.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
