Hayes is an above average 2C if look at 5v5 numbers.
but the eye test says he is a lucky mf. he isnt doing the right things. But it works anywayHayes is an above average 2C if look at 5v5 numbers.
What sucks is he’s a very good individual player but his biggest flaw, constantly holding the puck way too long, is just so frustrating to watch because it’s not a physical issue like a lack of size, lack of speed, or cement hands.Hayes is an above average 2C if look at 5v5 numbers.

The thing about Hayes is that he plays a very different/ugly style of hockey compared to what most would expect from a prototypical top-6 center.
Exactly. The "ugliness" is a perfect expression and it is quite a polarizing thing, leading to many discussions here being way more heated than what was said. It is ugly and it is working so far. It is fair to point out both - without getting shat on.
I like how Hayes plays even factoring in his faults. It breaks up the monotony of Flyers games. He makes it a little more interesting. Most of the team is allergic to the puck.
This post sucks. Hayes is god.
He reminds me of quite a few of my former teammates (floorball). "No way he keeps the ball/puck.. he has to pass now already.. Nope....... .... aaand his line scores. Nice"
You're god damn right.I'm sure when the mods ended the Coronavirus threads they intended for them to be re-started in another thread.
If Sanheim never had it, I wonder who patient zero was.

This season is only 50 games long.I’d like Hayes more if he could finally crack 50 points in a season. Didn’t do it last season, and he won’t do it this season, either.
Laughton only needed a 14% on-ice shooting percentage to accomplish that.Hayes has more ES points than Giroux since joining the Flyers. And more SH goals. And more SH points. And more OT goals. And the same GWG.
Interesting:
Giroux 37 ES points his last 82 games
Laughton 36 ES points his last 62 games
Giroux is our 7th best F option at ES is seems now.
It will be really interesting to see what happens with Laughton. He's been pretty good the last two years.Hayes has more ES points than Giroux since joining the Flyers. And more SH goals. And more SH points. And more OT goals. And the same GWG.

You said it couldn't be done last year...and he is doing it again this year.Laughton only needed a 14% on-ice shooting percentage to accomplish that.

The smart move would be to trade him at the deadline, but playoff teams don't do that. If Fletcher wants to re-sign him it will be a challenge to fit him under the cap. Maybe he'll accept a home town discount? But why should he?
