Ondřej Ka�e has also contributed to the offense that Hyman had contributed in years past. We all knew that when healthy, Ka�e is a great middle 6 forward. There is a reason the Bruins gave up a 1st round pick for him in 2020. That being said, the issue has been health. This season, for the most part, Ka�e has been able to stay healthy and as of late his offensive production has skyrocketed. Not only has Ka�e contributed offensively but he has played a key role on the Leafs penalty kill this season.
He and David Kämpf have been exceptional defensively and on the pk this season. In years past Hyman played a key role on the pk but Kämpf and Ka�e have filled that void exceptionally. The Leafs currently have the 10th best pk in hockey and it is largely due to the impact that the two have had. They have also revamped the Leafs third line and have been integral parts in the «shutdown line» that this team has lacked for years. The three players may not have all of the skill sets that Hyman had but that hasn't stopped the committee from replacing, and even exceeding his production in Toronto.
