Rumor: Kevin Hayes not signing with Hawks

[ChiGuySez]

The comparison is both are big wingers with monster years in their final season of eligibility. Hayes had a bigger final season but didnt have much before last where Beach was consistently posting bigger numbers. Different leagues though. Both with off ice incidents. Beach moreso. Yeah Im sure KHayes will be an NHL player. Beach, unlikely.

Kevin Hayes can play hockey and will be in NHL soon enough

I don't understand the Kyle Beach comparable

Bitterness?

Beach was a massive headcase. Hayes doesn't seem anything like that...and his 'off ice' incident was disgusting and immature - but not really comparable to Beach

He's no Beach. But Kevin Hayes is still not a good prospect at this point. We should be happy to get a 2nd round pick for him. We got a 3rd and a 5th for a much better prospect.

Stan made him an offer because that's the only way the Hawks get a pick back.

Uh, he is a good prospect at this point.

Kayes isn't a good prospect now?

Nah, but if he was signing with the Hawks he would be.

Reporter from CSN NE says friend of Hayes says Hawks are out, Preds and Colorado are favored

The Preds? Really? That's a surprise.

Wow, that'll be fun. Keep your head up Hayes.

 

[Kurtosis]

I hope it's the Preds so much.

I hope it's the Preds so much.

God.....so do I!

 

[ChiGuySez]

No Calgary or Florida. Interesting. Florida could use him. Looks like Tallon doesnt want him or he doesnt want to play there. Calgary would be obvious an obvious destination but hes not wanted there either.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You are throwing some things around as facts when all that's been reported is that he'd prefer COL/NAS.

 

[Nothingman*]

Right now it is what Hayes prefers.......not the teams unless there would be tampering as it isn't August 15 yet.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Like I said, can't wait for this **** to just officially be over.

 

[Bubba88]

Preds could offer him a spot more than others.

Preds make sense as Hayes should have no problem replacing a Stalberg or other type winger on that roster by December

Avs make some sense as he may get into bottom 6 role off bat and work his way up thru years

 

[Blackhawks26]

Wow, that'll be fun. Keep your head up Hayes.

why? Who the hell is gonna hit him? Kane? Hossa? Versteeg? I'm sure it won't be Bickell, he wouldn't hurt a fly.

Even now, finding every opportunity to diss Stalberg. Spare us!

if this kid has any type of attitude issues (according to some on here he does), why on Earth would he want to get his ass chewed out day in and day out by Patrick Roy??

I can't see Colorado as an actual place he would want to play. I still think it comes down to Florida and Calgary, though Nashville does pose an interesting opportunity for him to play solid minutes right away.

 

[Enyaw]

Preds wouldnt have an interest unless he plays RW

Pred C depth
M Cullen
Gaustad
C Wilson
Jokinen
Ribero
D Roy
F Forsberg

He played RW a lot at BC.

Guys like Mashinter, Ross and Johns after he is sent to the AHL.

Nashville will make room for him with the big club.
