Description

Hayes sounds like he is most likely coming to Columbus in the off season.

Connor Murphy helps the blueline and lets Jiricek develop more in Cleveland then move to the main squad when the injury bug most likely comes again during the season.

Bedard can be seen as any of the top 3 C's (Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson)

Graves is the Gavi replacement and helps solidify the left side until Mateychuk can join the squad in a few seasons.

LTIR players are players that can be traded... Foudy can probably be included in the Philly deal since Torts loves him. Bemstrom I could see us losing him to Waivers.

Scratches are players that will be playing at some point throughout the season. (Cole, Voronkov, and Jiricek start in Cleveland).

Not enough if we are retaining that kind of money on Hayes. We also don't need more LHD.

I do not think it would cost much more than this based off recent reports

There's "monumental" and then there is nothing. This is nothing.

I think it's fair to make that 3rd a '24 2nd, and give them Foudy, or build something around Roslovic (who I increasingly feel like won't be here next year) going to PHI. We still need Bean, if only because we need bodies on our blue-line.

But yeah, safe to say the return for Hayes won't be big.

I would love Hayes at that salary in Detroit.

The issue is whether Haye's NTC would love that in DET.

I think between the dearth of true Cs in Cbus, the potential of playing with a Bedard/ Fantilli, the ability to be teammates with his buddy Johnny (and he is apparently close friends with former teammate Rick Nash as well), Hayes would be cool going to CBJ.
