Here's the top centers available on July 1st:
Duchene, Pavelski, Hayes, Thorton, Nelson
There's a few others but I'd say they are the top ones.
Duchene is one of the biggest names of this year's UFA class and he's the top center available so
considering the age of Pavelski+Thorton and given they're likely staying in San Jose and Nelson is probably staying in NY I wouldn't be surprised to see Kevin Hayes get more then the $5.9 projected here considering there's so few centers on the market.
I don't think it'd be at all surprising to see Hayes sign somewhere in the $6.5-7 range. It'll be interesting to see where he signs and for how much.
I heard on TSN radio last week that where the Jets/Stastny signing fell apart wasn't money but it was term, the Jets didn't want to do the 3rd year that Vegas was willing to do, obviously I don't know if that's for sure true but if it is they sure effed that up.
