## Resource

Mike Babcock’s potential return to the Oilers has sparked buzz, and Zach Hyman — who played under him in Toronto — offers a surprisingly positive take. Hyman acknowledges Babcock’s polarizing reputation but credits his demanding style for pushing him to greatness. He highlights how coaches impact players differently, and his experience falls squarely in the “beneficial challenge” category. With the Oilers eyeing 2026, Hyman’s perspective matters: he doesn’t harbor resentment and believes a working relationship is possible — especially with veterans like McDavid and Draisaitl. Ultimately, whether Babcock has evolved remains to be seen, but Hyman’s story reminds us that player-coach chemistry is everything.
