Sign him because he's a good prospect not to re-build lines. I think it is naive to think if the Flames have interest it is to re-build the line.
I wish prospects would sign with the teams that drafted them too - but they don't always - and this is part of the game now. The Flames have been burned by this in the past, so it is only fair that if there is an opportunity to get a prospect for a lower value then you do it.
The Flames may have a leg up because of relationships between Hayes and his college buds. If so - take advantage of it.
The organization made a strong move to acquire Corban Knight for below value. More of those type of moves are welcome for an organization still relatively think overall on assets
