I don't think anyone is arguing... Moon is just trolling us from the netherworld of his Lifetime Ban.
I don't think there is any news on Kevin Hayes specifically, but the Blackhawks have to do something serious fairly soon. They have a couple of months to get their salary structure in compliance with the cap. The rights to Hayes would be a decent sweetener in any deal to clear cap space, as to them he is worth at least a 2nd round pick (compensation for not signing).
If they are in cap Hell come October it could get interesting with their 'bubble' players like Jeremy Morin and Ben Smith, who are now eligible for waivers. I hope Treliving is keeping the lines of communication open with Chicago. We're one of the few teams in a great position to profit from their situation.
