Will the Kevin Hayes experiment work?

The most significant outside addition made by the Pittsburgh Penguins this offseason was probably acquiring veteran forward Kevin Hayes from the St. Louis Blues in a salary dump trade.

Realistically speaking, the Penguins were probably more interested in the second-round pick they acquired as part of that deal, and Hayes was simply the cost it took to buy that selection.

Whatever the case, Hayes is now a Penguins for — presumably — the next two years at a very reduced salary cap number. A couple of years ago, Hayes would have been a nice player to have on your roster.
