Holland re-upped in Detroit. Considering he's done close to nothing this off-season in terms of improving the team, 4 years may be a gamble even with his history.

thanks tips
Kevin Hayes is a UFA as of today IIRC. I certainly hope Murray is making a sincere effort to get him in the prospect pool.

Not until tomorrow. Chicago retains his rights through and including August 15.
What is the cost of signing (draft pick loss) if the Sabres sign Hayes?
Is he worth the cost of the pick in a deep draft?

There is none. Chicago gets a compensation pick but there's no corresponding pick loss for the signing team.

It's my understanding that if Hayes doesn't sign with Chicago before midnight tonight, Hayes becomes a UFA and the LEAGUE compensates Chicago with the 54th pick.
So, if the Sabres were to sign him after midnight tonight, they wouldn't have to give anything to Chicago as their rights for him will have expired.
Sounds like Calgary and Florida are the prohibitive favorites to acquire Hayes. He has connections to those teams (college linemates and brother, respectively), and those teams, like Buffalo, can offer him playing time relatively early in his career.
Thanks I thought the 2nd rounder was from the Sabres.
Any hope they sign him?
He sounds like a fit for what Murray is building here.

Its about the NHL changing some of their rules and laws when it comes to 3rd parties accessing and using their statisitcs.
The advanced stats folks are concerned about this.

Why are you surprised? RFA with no arbitration rights, and didn't exactly tear up the league with 10 goals in 50ish games, so he signed his qualifying offer. He hasn't managed to stay healthy in 2 seasons so both sides took the safe route, he gets a one way deal and the chance to cash in more if he stays healthy and produces. Anaheim gets a cap friendly deal in hope that his production improves and then next off-seasoncthey revisit with a bridge or long-term deal.
I'm surprised because I thought they'd sign him to a 3 year deal worth like 1.5 AAV.
That deal would've been good because He could break out and it would be an amazing contract and if it didn't work out 1.5 would be nothing. He's basically on an ELC.
I got caught off guard.

He's also in the awkward situation of being 24, so a 3 year deal would take him to UFA. I would imagine his agent wouldn't have pushed for a low dollar 3 year contract.

If anything it suggests the NHL choosing to make their own equivalent. Potentially pay-access :p

Hearing that Kevin Hayes camp will spend Sunday narrowing list of NHL suitors, then speak with 4 to 5 finalists on Mon.
