Zach Hyman's Rise to Oilers Legend

Zach Hyman just soared into the Top 100 Oilers list at 26 — a massive leap since he wasn’t even on the 2015 list. Known for his relentless energy, wholesome persona, and even children’s books, Hyman has become a cornerstone of Edmonton’s modern success. His fifth season ended with a career year — 36 goals, 83 points — and unforgettable moments like that overtime winner against LA. He then shattered records with 54 goals and 16 playoff goals in 2023-24, setting a salary cap era high. Despite a devastating wrist injury in the 2025 Western Final that cost him the Cup, his impact is undeniable. Originally drafted by the Panthers — the team that beat Edmonton in that final — and traded to Toronto before landing in Edmonton, Hyman’s chemistry with superstars, forged in Toronto, has made him one of the most beloved and vital players of this century.
