I think the whole Hayes thing is alot of BS. Torts and Hayes worked together in NYR and Torts benched him for one game as Hayes turned the puck over/no effort the prior game. But bear in mind how young PHI is, and the effect that had on the youngsters = calculated move. Wihout Couturier and Atkinson in the lineup, Hayes is the defacto veteran leader among the top 6.
Hayes is performing at his cap level and is almost a ppg, on a team that ranks near the bottom in offense. The idea of a buy out is ridiculous, the idea of trading him for a better contract on a not too worse player, maybe, but the idea PHI will buy him out, based on what happened 2 weeks ago is laughable, especially as hes continued to perform at such a high level and is a leader Torts and the young kids like.
And a low in the round first and bowers for Hayes alone (no retention and Braun) is probably a low offer, for what Hayes brings/performs.
