Have to wonder of Hayes and agent are waiting to see the cap hits of guys like Toews/Kane. The higher the cap hit will make it more difficult to add a guy with the rookies bonuses that he would command as a 1st round pick, a spot on the roster the Blackhawks might prefer to give to a minimum salary roster player. He would become an easy candidate to trade to which he might have no say in where he would go.
