Confirmed Trade: [STL/PHI] Kevin Hayes (50% retained) for 2024 6th round pick

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Kevin Hayes at 50% retained for just a 6th seems like a good trade for the Blues. Long year ahead for the Flyers.

 

[BB88]

So almost a 1st

[Some Other Flame]

Retaining 3.6M for a 6th round pick. Or in other words, clearing 3.6M in cap space to get a 6th.

The cap sure is something

 

[DRAGO 18]

Huge?

 

[MMC]

 

[King Woodballs]

Mega deal of the ages!

 

[I am Canadian]

That's great for St. Louis. Could retain again and flip him for some good value down the line Id imagine.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

No retention?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Why not just bring Barbershev back? He's a better player than Hayes even if Barber gets the same raise.

 

[thefutures]

Sanheim was the interesting piece, this feels like nothing considering the build up

 

[FlameChampion]

This seems like a much better bet for St. Louis than Johansen was for Colorado.

I get that Torts and Hayes didnt get along, but seems kind of like a pointless deal for Philly. Culture change I guess.

Still feels anti climatic though lol

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Clearly, the reason a 1st was to be traded was because of Sanheim, but Krug put a kibosh to that. Oh well, I'm sure that Hayes will do well in St. Louis.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Wow nice steal. Avs fans were saying we would pay a nice asset for 50% retention for Hayes before the TDL.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

50% retained for a 6th. Tf?

How bad can this guy possibly be.

 

[kilowatt]

That seems like a pretty good deal for St. Louis, no? If Hayes was a free agent, I'd imagine more than a few teams would be looking at a 3 year, $3.5 million deal favorably.

 

[Pongs21]

Great trade by STL. Still have those 1sts to play with as well..

 

[Flybynite]

That is absolutely GARBAGE return for sending a team Kevin Hayes and paying him $3.57m a year for 3 years. Hayes as a FA is getting more than a 3 yr/$11m contract.

Flyers continue to eat $3.57m a year for the next 3 years. Let a team get Hayes at a discount to what he'd command as a UFA and they get a 6th round pick out of it.

Briere looks like he just showed its open season on taking advantage of him.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

not a bad return for St. Louis for only a 6th. Seems teams aren't super confident dabbling in free agents for centers this year so far.

 

[Rebel247]

Flyers get ripped off. Everyone knows 2024 is a weak draft to take a 6th.
Seriously, I was hoping for only 30% retained but at least he is gone.

 

[LOFIN]

No retention?

50%

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don’t know how Hayes didn’t bring back way more than that.

He’s a great asset at $3.5 million.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Torts celebrating right now, he did not like Kevin.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Wow nice steal. Avs fans were saying we would pay a nice asset for 50% retention for Hayes before the TDL.

There is no nicer asset than an early 6th round pick

 

[SnS]

Torts tanked Hayes value more than Hayes tanked his value.

Krug definitely killed the bigger deal though.
