The team was overachieving for a good stretch of games there, and I was on the fence RE: Hayes during it, but seeing the team play, with the injuries we have, I do think we trade him for another 1st rounder and kick the can down the road as planned. There will be no shortage of injuries under DQ's grinding system which has basically turned every line into a checking line, and if the playoffs started tomorrow we don't have the reinforcements to deal with injuries. Need 3 first rounders in this year's draft again, Zucc and Hayes should be on their way out. Andersson showing signs of improvement was the only silver lining I saw out there tonight. Also really questionable to put Smith in as a winger... DQ must hate Lettieri more than I do
