What has Hayes done for Chicago Blackhawks to earn a place on the team out of college? Does it happen? For sure it does, but it's not a forgone conclusion that a first rounder comes straight from college and into the NHL, and to expect that for himself without proving anything is just dickish. Don't want to play in the AHL? Work your tail off and earn your spot on the team.

So we made a mistake trading for Corban Knight? I hate that college players can do this but the kid fills an organizational need and has solid relationships with 2 other prospects. Sign him if we can
