Larry Brooks: Have been told that there have been no recent contract extension talks between the New York Rangers and pending free agent Kevin Hayes. Can anticipate a trade.
It may not be too much longer before the Rangers don’t dress Hayes or Mats Zuccarello to protect from injury.
Larry Brooks of the NY Post: Rangers GM Jeff Gorton isn’t holding contract talks with Kevin Hayes or Mats Zuccarello and both will likely be traded for draft picks and prospects.
The Winnipeg Jets are one of the teams interested in Hayes and have prospects like Jack Roslovic, Kristian Vesalainen and Sami Niku.
