I typically toe the line but you have to keep Hayes...find a way. Bonino on the pens was arguably the most underrated performer of their run. Hayes is a character guy and a big part of the room. He's a guy the young guys look to, plays heavy minutes (which have routinely gotten heavier as he's grown into what he is), and can put up 50-65 a year. The game he plays though is really built for playoff hockey...may just speaking for myself here but I've seen more than enough. Try to lock him up a good term for annual value...he plays a game that should remain valuable for years. Small flashy guys wear out or lose a step but guys he physically resembles/skillset to various extents w/ some of these..(ie marleau, hossa, nash, e staal, getzlaf, johansen, etc). Obviously all of those are more accomplished, the comparison was more to frame and some similar styles, but my larger point is guys that play that type of game with that frame typically have pretty good tread on the tires. I'd love to see something like 6-7x6.0-6.5
