Philadelphia Flyers: Analyzing The Kevin Hayes Trade

Per @CapFriendly on Twitter, the Philadelphia Flyers received the rights to UFA centre Kevin Hayes in exchange for a 5th round selection (134th overall in 2019).

Although this is a relatively small deal, as the Jets only receive a 5th round pick (for a player that the team spent major assets on at the deadline), it could certainly mean a lot for the Flyers if Hayes decides to sign with Philly.
