Ah yea, I am sure if he put up elite numbers, people wouldn't criticize...at least as much. Ok, but he isn't and likely never will be "elite". He is by no means an all around elite winger. If you are hoping for elite numbers, I think you will likely be disappointed. He is in the higher category at certain things, but we have an elite winger on the other side(Nylander) and an elite Centre. Hyman doesn't need to be an elite scorer, he just needs to be in the elite category at what he is doing. 15ES goals would have tied him with Marner last year and ahead of Nylander, Bozak and Komarov of our top 9. If he gets 15 ES this season, there will likely be a lot of in close garbage goals and that is just hard, dirty work and a little puck luck. 10+ES would be a great thing.
