Rumor: Lots of interest in Kevin Hayes

[Johnnybegood13]

Trust me, you don’t want him on the wing. Usually C’s can translate well to wing but not in Hayes’ case.

I think they tried him as a LW rather than his comfortable RW though, you also don't have a Gaudreau for him to play with in NY either, In case you forgot, the Gaudreau/Arnold/Hayes line at BC was the highest NCAA scoring line in 25 years with 198 points in 40 games. I would be willing to bet he would easily set new highs playing RW with Gaudreau/Monahan.

 

[bernmeister]

maybe, but Jenner is a solid player that we can later trade if we want for a good return as well.

What does Chytil have to do with it? who is trading Chytil or Andersson? And Zib is not getting traded any time soon either.

We should keep Hayes, Chytil going forward
There is overpayment available during a great draft, so we listen on Zib.

B'c he is ready available day 1, if we get enough, I say trade Andy also.

 

[Viqsi]

I would do Jenner plus 1st rounder for Hayes and Vesey.

I would find this acceptable.

 

[Calad]

I would find this acceptable.

I agree, very intriguing proposal. How many years of RFA control does Jenner have left?

Two years, including this coming one.

Count me in on the Jenner+1st <-> Hayes+Vesey swap. Good work everyone!

Panarin-Dubois-Atkinson
Foligno-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand
Milano-Hayes-Anderson
Vesey-Dubinsky-Sedlak/Davidsson/etc

 

[One Winged Angel]

Yeah, the Hayes and Vesey for Jenner and 1st swap sounds good to me as well. I think both teams benefit from it.

As a Rangers fan I’m on board with another small add from the Jackets. Maybe a 3rd

Third round picks have represented some of Kekalainen's best work (Bjorkstrand, Merzlikins, Abramov, Tarasov) so this might be asking a bit much.

I can live with this
Hayes+Vesey for Jenner+1st+3rd. Jenner is exactly the kind of guy Gorton likes.

How is Jenner's defensive game? can he kill penalties?

Hypothetically, but he was more of a "first backup guy" rather than a regular. Our primary PK forwards this past year were Calvert, Atkinson, Dubinsky, and Foligno; Jenner is #5 behind them in PK TOI but by a fairly sizeable margin. It's not bad per se, but it's not a selling point.

 

[Calad]

Yes and yes

 

[bl02]

Not saying its a fair deal but i'm tentative to make it as a Rangers fan. Plus I know I'm probably in the minority (unless its a steal of a trade...this one seems to be equal value) I don't think its good practice to trade two guys who could have chosen multiple teams but instead chose to play in NY.

That’s incorrect they tried him at RW. And take it from fans who watched him he is not a winger. He played it in college yes, but he is a center now. Any time he was tried on the wing it was abysmal.

Hayes,9 and 26 to mtl for 3 ? Rangers get their pick after the big 2. MTL still can likely get Hayton at 9....

LMAO

That's way too much for the Rangers to give up to jump up 6 spots in what really is a wide open class.

I can't see Gordon doing this.

I wouldn’t trade Hayes and 9oa for 3oa much less throw in 26oa as well. Looks like 3-10 could be interchangeable so no need to trade that many assets to move up. There will be great quality available at 9oa for the Rangers

 

[tradenashnow]

I would do Jenner plus 1st rounder for Hayes and Vesey.

Please. Jenner is basically a role player. His 30 goal year was more of a fluke. We have seen this with Jackets players before. Foligno to be one. That offer is atrocious.

 

[EdJovanovski]

No idea why the Rangers would trade Hayes for a crappier version of Hayes
Jenner isn’t very good

 

[SML2]

Hayes,9 and 26 to mtl for 3 ? Rangers get their pick after the big 2. MTL still can likely get Hayton at 9....

Realistically, the pressure to get a savior in MTL with this pick makes it almost impossible for them to move back unless they have put the word out that they not only traded back but also got the guy they would have licked at 3. Trading back to 9 is not much of an option and Kevin Hayes and the 26th is not enough to quell the mob and even the scales.

Two firsts and Hayes to move up 6 spots? Awful.

 

[SML2]

It's not just 6 spots to be fair. It's moving into the top 3. What would you want to move back if it were us in the 3?

The Rangers would use the 3OA and not trade it.
