Confirmed Trade: [WPG/NYR] Kevin Hayes for Brendan Lemieux, 2019 1st round pick, 2022 conditional 4th round pick
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
Hayes certainly isn’t who comes to mind when I think of a quick thinker
He is a very quick thinker and smart player, think it always was an underrated part of his game.
Looking around the league, there are almost no bigger centers out there. A few still but not many. How many 6’5 centers are there out there besides Hayes playing in any kind of more significant role?
Many got a little down on him early in NY because he disappeared from games his first couple of seasons while the team was pretty grey. And that is of course the risk you run with having a 6’5 center, that guy will never be able to skate with like the top 6’0 skating centers up and down the ice. But he has done a really good job working in his game and is a really smart player. Hayes have always fitted well with smarter players.

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
His agent definitely is
A superstar who has never scored more than 65 points in his NHL career yet!
9.5 million a year, for 8 years, for a 26, almost 27, year old who has never broken the 65 point mark???
Sure.... why not
I'll stick with Hayes thanks. Fills the actual need at a realistic price

The conjugation of "to have" is:
I have
You have
We have
They have
He/she/it has
If you are referring to a single person/entity in 3rd person, you use "has" instead of "have".
Don't worry though. The legion of people who get then/than wrong is a lot worse.

Stone is better... still wouldn't call him a 'superstar.' That's a bit of an oversell...

Hayes is not close to Stone in any way, and saying that Stone hasn’t broken 65 points is misleading

I’ve never seen such a player stock rise at the trade deadline than him. He’s good but that contract is horrible.

Let's just ignore how he's been point per game for two seasons in a row on the worst team in the NHL

I think Vegas paid a bit too much for Stone.
He should be closer to 8M.
Also year at 8 instead of 6.
But Vegas wanted him so they did it.
We shall see him the next 2 years if its worth it.
He is pretty good but superstar is a bit much.

Stone is a very good player and is better than Hayes. However Hayes is a better fit for the Jets and came at a more reasonable price. The more I see that contract for Stone, the more I think it is somewhat of an overpayment. Don't see how he is worth that much more than Wheeler. Jets would never be able to afford to sign him at that price.
Yep. Stone is great but $9.5 million is crazy money; I think it is the 10th richest contract in the NHL in terms of cap hit. The guy isn’t even a top-10 winger in the NHL.
Heck, for a mere $1.5 million more then Stone’s cap hit (and one year less on the contract) you get a UFA John Tavares, who is a whole order of magnitude better.
The Jets were right to get Hayes (who is admittedly an inferior player) at an affordable cost then grossly overpay Stone.

it is really getting out of hand with salaries.
far from the nba or baseball......but
players coming off elc's and signing 12 mil a year
unless the nhl keeps expanding like crazy, or somehow teams on the bubble start to make a lot of money
even with tv money, I do not see the cap going up as fast as some seem to think
Hayes’ brother plays in the AHL. Only one Hayes in Winnipeg. Always these problems with new organizations...
BTW, if both Kevin and Jimmy played for the same organization, could I really just ask “How have Hayes looked?” I am no expert on these things, but shouldn’t it have been a ‘the’ inserted before the name? But you don’t have to do anything with the name since it ends with an ‘s’ already (cf ‘how have THE SmithS looked?’)? I really don’t know.

By the way Benning should be fired.
Especially since he has 66 pts already this season, and was over PPG last year.

Whole lotta ignorant Jets fans that don't know shit about Mark Stone looking pretty foolish in this thread
A 70 point+ Selke favourite is easily worth the contract that Stone signed.

Best way to pose that question might be “how have the Hayes brothers looked” as it would eliminate confusion, but honestly as was the case with the Sedins, an (s) gets added to the end to signify plural or more than one.
In the case of Hayes you were correct. You wouldn’t add an (s) at the end because it already ends in (s). You would however add an apostrophe after the (s) like this ... Hayes’

No its not really. Its actual fact. But what one does with that stat in their own mind is up to them.
