Good. I think his cap hit is $1mil per year.

 

[BK]

I like Hayden a lot. I like that it is a 2 year deal.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Probably about right Migi. Hino up next, with similar term for him as well.

 

[Teemu]

Good. I think his cap hit is $1mil per year.

I'd guess a bit less, trading some of the salary for the security of a one-way deal and an extra year.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's at worst a fourth liner and he's got middle six upside. Very happy.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

I'm not as high on him as others seem to be, but he's a good guy to have in the mix.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Smart move

 

[Hawkaholic]

Hopefully a contract you can put in the minors without anything counting against the cap (so $1.05mil or less)

 

[Hawkaholic]

Wow, 750k for Hayden. Great deal.

 

[ClydeLee]

Is he a ufa after?

 

[Styles]

I really like what he brings to the team. A big body and heavy on the forecheck. He should be fine in the bottom 6 all year with some spurts in the top 6 here and there.

 

[BK]

Wow, 750k for Hayden. Great deal.

Holy deal. Really really good deal.

Hyperbole is absurd

A 4th liner who has shown little got a 4th liners deal

It is nothing special nor worthy of the over the top praise

Good God, the irony. Never change, BWC. Never change.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I knew BWC would come in here and say something along the lines of that before he even posted it. I was more expecting a "why did we even bother signing him, should have cut bait on Stanleys poor draft pick"

Hayden uses his big body well and has plenty of character but his skating, especially the first few strides, needs improvement.

That first line coming from BWC gave me a deep belly laugh.

Woosh.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Just saw the cap hit, I like it.

 

[migi]

Wow that cap hit.

 

[HawksFan37]

Hard to complain about this deal. Hopefully Hayden can turn into an effective 3rd liner (at which point this deal is a bargain). If he's just a 4th liner, still a solid cap hit that won't hurt you.

Still needs work but it has improved since he's turned pro. Still some work to do but there's been improvement, at least.

Could be a poor man's Tom Wilson. I have a very low opinion of
Tom Wilson though so that isn't as glowing a comparison as it may seem.
