Have a feeling that Hyman might be one of the most injured guys now. Kane is just a ghost, but he already has an excuse, although something we could have fixed 7 months ago apparently.
We are in a rough spot now with pretty useless wingers in the top 6 for 5v5 play. We are getting spanked by Florida's top 6 wingers while their centers go to war with our top 2 guys. Evan Rodrigues and Verhaeghe the difference makers.
If we want to be consistent contenders, we really need to fix our top 6 winger situation. Nuge is pretty darn useless 5v5 against solid defending teams. Kane, always has some crap going on. Hyman has done his job all playoffs, and unfortunately became a huge target because of how inept our wingers are. I think teams finally caught him enough times and he looks really slow out there now. Our top D pair are getting worn down too because there is really nothing else of value in our group of 6. Maybe Broberg can take a step finally next year, but we need a huge upgrade on RHD.
Issues for next year, for the next GM. For now, just hopes and prayers that McDavid and Drai can gut out another level for 4 wins.

Hyman might be hurt, the Oilers have had some tough series. So that is why I think the Oilers need to play a simpler style. I have said it before over the years and I believe it to be true, I think there is a mindset among the Oilers at times and it comes from McD and Leon and then it trickles down through the whole team, that if a goal ain't pretty, it's not worth scoring. I am not saying they go around the room saying that but there is something in their brains that compels them to make the extra pass or play that is low percentage but if it works, the goal will be awesome.
I saw on one of the PP's last game. Nuge got the puck around the left dot/hash marks and he had a little time and space to shoot. Bob was coming across. Nuge would have had to pick a corner but it was there. Rather than shoot, Nuge tried to fire a pass cross ice to Leon for a one times who was in his spot. There was Hyman, plus 2 Panthers in front. If that puck gets through, it would be a highlight goal but it had to get through 3 guys and didn't. If Nuge shoots there and shoots high as long as he hits the net, he either scores, a rebound comes out to him for a second shot, a rebound is laying there for Hyman to tap in or it could go off a body and in. So there are 4 good outcomes that could cause a goal. If you try to force the pass and the puck doesn't get through, the play is dead. I see the Oilers far too many times where the Oilers players first choice is the low percentage play where if it works. WOW.
So for Hyman, if he's hurt, then shoot the puck. I saw him lots of time trying to take the puck around the goal, trying to force passes. Same with Nuge. How often do you see McD get a rebound goal? Rarely. If there is a guy who can get to a rebound, it's McD with his speed. So play like that. Fire the puck make it so if you don't score you have a rebound and bat it in. The Oilers get lets of goals scored against, doesn't matter the team they play, because of rebounds so pucks off legs or skates, tips, tap in. You don't see those same type of goals happen in the Oilers favor that often. For the Oilers, it's cross ice one timers, back door tap ins where the guy that scores is pointing at the guy that passed it or it's unreal shots. I think about when McLeod scored his first goal in 2 years against Dallas. What was it? Perry fired the puck on goal high, Oettinger saved it, popped off his chest, he didn't handle the puck fast enough, McLeod actually went to the net and popped it in. Just basic, not flashy, won't make top 50 goals of the year hockey that works every single time.
