TK Provorov Hayes gone

As much as I would like Konecny, that pick is just too valuable to Detroit. Also if that was the price for Kevin Hayes I would be all over it in Detroit, especially at that aav.

Hayes at 7+ I might be slightly concerned about but Hayes at 5 mil for Bean a 2nd and a 3rd, I think is a trade Columbus has to explore. Columbus has always been weak down the middle so adding a top C prospect at the draft in Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith or Dvorsky (totally miss spelled that) and getting Hayes to take some pressure off Jenner, Sillinger and Karuly would be a win and a good offseason for Columbus. They would just need to sure up the left side of the defence a bit and find a way to protect Werenski from getting smoked every night.

Might be worth mentioning that this trade would bring his cap hit down to roughly 4 mil. How far is Svozil from getting an NHL look?

Yeah I think jarmo would be all over this deal. Mateychuck and svozil are probably still 2 years out. I hope they get a solid defensive free agent for the left side on a 2-3 year to serve as a stopgap

He probably gets a look for 9 games next season, depending on what jarmo does, since he is still in JRs this season I don’t see him getting a shot this year. But if I had to guess I’d agree with Sk101 that he’s still 2-3 years out from really being NHL ready just like Mayetchuck and Knazko on the left side.
