I will admit, it was just one game and he's clearly better than that, but he left a pretty underwhelming first impression on me.

That was the worst game I saw Hayes play this year - don't judge him from that.
He is a 6'4" former first rounder. He is a good prospect with a legitimate chance of becoming an NHLer - probably at least as good, if not a little better than Arnold.
If the Flames can acquire him - go get it done.
And if you like him, find out f he is willing to sign and if so, make a trade for his rights.
I would think a 2nd plus Cundari or a 2nd + 3rd would be an attractive offer. It is probably a safe bet that Florida and/or other teams will be looking to acquire his rights as well, so just offering a 2nd isn't going to get it done.
