The Flyers have been one of the most aggressive NHL teams this offseason, and that continues with their big-money pact with former Ranger Kevin Hayes.
The two sides have agreed on a surprising seven-year, $50 million contract, according to TSN, reuniting Hayes with former Rangers coach Alain Vigneault in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. The move is considered an overpayment by some as Hayes Hayes finished last season with 55 points in 71 games, and has never recorded more than 60 points in a season. It’s the latest in a line of moves by the Flyers to get themselves back into Stanley Cup contention.
