The time is now. Kevin Hayes has played some of the best hockey of his career this season for the New York Rangers but with the Rangers looking like the incomplete team we all knew they were at the beginning of the season, it’s time for GM Jeff Gorton to do what needs to be done: Trade Kevin Hayes.
Hayes has been one of the Rangers’ best players this season but that means he could get some great assets back in return. Losing a player like Hayes would make the Rangers a slightly worse team, but that would bring about more lottery balls in June.
