Confirmed with Link: [PHI/WPG] Kevin Hayes UFA rights for a 2019 5th

[sigma six]

Please be three years.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Wonderful to see Fletcher bring over his hallmark of mediocrity from Minny.

Hayes. f***ing Hayes. As vanilla as they come. My god f***!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Please be three years.

No chance. 5 min.

 

[Rebels57]

It was only 6 games and he still had more goals than Wheeler and as many as Scheifele in that round.

He has 4 goals in 40 playoff games.

Let that sink in.

 

[VladDrag]

NOT OK!

he's alive.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

I absolutely hate trading picks for negotiating right. It is non sensical. You now are backed into a corner and have to pay the guy whatever to not look like a moron

 

[Stizzle]

Sommerman is on it.

Imagine how much of a sociopath this guy must be in real life.

 

[Cody Webster]

Sommerman is on it.

Minutes after the mainstream guys said nothing is close. What a moron

 

[Striiker]

Better hope last year is his new consistent level of play. Otherwise we're f***ed.

Should have just stuck with Patrick at 2C.

Pick is price to get that exclusive negotiating window

If its successful to me its worth it

Why oh why couldn't Hextall fire Hakstol? Hextall never would have made this move.

Hexy deserved to be fired, but I was fully behind his roster construction, even if he was slow in giving some of the kids a shot.

This is a desperation move when it is entirely unnecessary. May pay off, but I am highly skeptical.

Not impressed with Fletcher so far.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I f***ing knew it. Knew it.

That bowl cut POS who spent year after year running the most MEDIOCRE of NHL teams in Minny has brought his special show here.

Well... If he reaches the market, you risk getting into bidding wars which also drives the price up

 

[Prongo]

Sommerman is on it.

He had the Phillies draft pick nailed #insiderr

 

[Tripod]

Well..I guess we possibly got another PKer...and he actually has collected some SH points.

3, 0, 2, 7 points the last 4 years while on the PK.

Normally I dont mind giving up a 5th to negotiate as long as its for the right player and the contract is reasonable.

Every gm gets 2 coaching hires. Not his fault dave Scott blind sided him. I f***jng hate dave scott

 

[Prongo]

Don’t know why media even mentions power play help, that shit doesn’t count

 

[FlyerNutter]

There are players you chase and overpay for. Hayes it not one of them. I’ll bet my ass shawshank style his contract basically carries negative value at the end of next season.

The new Andrew MacDonald. My god f***.

 

[Romo511]

Big 3rd line center who can be a stop gap for frost who can probably start out at wing. Can fill in 2nd line center if Patrick starts slow. As long as the contract isn’t outrageous I don’t see a downside to this. At least he can play and isn’t a Weise type player. We have pretty good size at center now too.

 

[CapnZin]

Hextall after seeing the flyers trade away a 5th round pick.

 

[Redpath]

There are a lot of opportunities to make a big splash this summer. This move significantly underwhelms

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Every gm gets 2 coaching hires. Not his fault dave Scott blind sided him. I ****jng hate dave scott

Hextall gave Hak at least 100 games past the point where he should have been fired. Hexy's firing is 100% on Hexy.

I say this with the belief that no one hates Dave Scott more than I do.

Sure, if the Phllies drafted Henderson and not Stott
