Confirmed with Link: Kevin Hayes to Pens

[Jacob]

Haha, we get a 2nd and give them nothing.

 

[WickedWrister]

Hayes + 2025 2nd for FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Coastal Kev]

Sully just messed himself

 

[MrBurghundy]

Just future considerations and we're getting a 2nd. I'll take that.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

It’s 3.5 for two years.

Like I said, if we got a pick or something back, it’s what rebuilding teams do. Also if you ship Eller off that’ll help.

Help with what? Eller was good for us last year.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Quinn coached him on the Rags. Probably put in a good word

Lol, there's a dude whose word should have absolutely no value and yet...

 

[Trade]

Welp,

2025 2nd + Hayes for Future Considerations

 

[chethejet]

Pens get a 2nd next year. Dubas is adding picks and I still think smith will be gone for a third. Malkin has to be moving to wing is my guess. Hayes Malkin and Rakell.

 

[MeinerEiner]

Hey, why is nobody complaining about the return?!

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Would’ve liked to send salary back

Are we selling Petts then?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Cant complain about a free pick along with a potentially productive player

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I dont like it but I dont hate it either, snagged a free 2nd and gave up nothing so cant really complain in that sense.

 

[PensandCaps]

Getting a 2nd for someone who is probably the best bottom 6 scoring option on the team. Solid vet presence with Eller on line 3, I like the deal now, only making 3.5 aswell.

Probably going to see Smith or Graves moved, hopefully.

 

[Al Smith]

Not enthusiastic about getting blander and staying older.

It’s our brand and we’re perfecting it.

 

[vodeni]

I am sure

Pens get a 2nd next year. Dubas is adding picks and I still think smith will be gone for a third. Malkin has to be moving to wing is my guess. Hayes Malkin and Rakell.

Geno can't wait to be centered by Kevin friggin Hayes

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Hard to get excited about Hayes, but at least Philadelphia will be paying half his salary and we're getting a 2nd rounder out of it.

 

[PensandCaps]

Pens get a 2nd next year. Dubas is adding picks and I still think smith will be gone for a third. Malkin has to be moving to wing is my guess. Hayes Malkin and Rakell.

I doubt it, Probably more likely Hayes is a RW and takes the draws.

And I'd probably prefer Eller to centre Malkin, more smart with the puck.

 

[vodeni]

just another dead corpse preventing Pono or Poulin or any younger players to gat a look

 

[Turin]

Meh, I’ll take a free 2nd.

 

[eXile3]

Are we eating half or all the contract? Everyone keeps saying 3.5 but Philly took half in the trade to St. Louis.

 

[Ryder71]

just another dead corpse preventing Pono or Poulin or any younger players to gat a look

Pono should get a jersey. Poulins trash.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

So Hayes + a 2nd at 3.57M x 2Y for nothing.
This is exactly what I wanted Dubas to do. Weaponize cap space for futures.
Hell, Hayes may even rebound as a scorer and boost his value to be traded again.

It even addresses the Center depth and puts Eller in the role he should be in.
Very happy with this. Dubas W.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Can the future consideration be that we ship him back if he sucks?

 

[OnMyOwn]

Help with what? Eller was good for us last year.

Move eller so ponomarev isn’t blocked.

 

[eXile3]

3.5 is half. This feels like a rebuilding move.
