"we need to get younger" - Gets another 32 year old on a 2 year contract. We will see what the full deal is though.

Arent we over w washed up 33 yr old 3C vets?

My best guess is actually Acciari might be a name heading back to St.Louis. It’s where he played his best hockey. Along with maybe a mid round pick. The best case scenario for cap space is either Graves or Jarry but I don’t think that’s happening lol

Dubas wanted to get that average team age even older i see

He can still play the wing as well. Not just a centre. But at the same time Hayes was by far not on my bucket list of trades for us. I think he can still be a guy of service though. Last time he was in the playoffs he put up a solid 13 points in 16 games.

good, Hayes didn't work. Hopefully its for future considerations at worst case scenario

Do we have the return?

It's Hayes and a 2025 2nd for future considerations

Great deal for the pens. Got a 2nd rounder too

That’s a good deal. W Dubas.

I think we can forgive Dubas since we get a second round in return for nothing 😅

Yea - Good move by Pits.

Enjoy him grinding play to a halt every chance he gets.

Id bet Eller is moved now. Hayes can hopefully be a decent enough 3C replacement and theyll have banked a 2nd + w/e they can get for Eller. Would make them slightly younger too.

Last year he had the same exact points assists and goals as Jeff Carter 2 years ago… like dubas what are u doing
