Joe Haggerty says Hayes would be an almost perfect fit with his hometown Bruins:

The most attractive part about Hayes to the Bruins, beyond being a right-winger, and size/skill: the cost. As an NCAA free agent, Hayes would still need to agree to an entry level deal, and his maximum cap hit would be a team-friendly $900,000, along with any bonus money agreed to in the contract. It would essentially be like putting one of their own homegrown rookies into the lineup with minimal cost. There's also the chance they could have a legit NHL player, based on his first-round ability and production at Boston College.

Other teams, such as Montreal, Colorado and San Jose, have been mentioned as potential suitors for Hayes should he become a free man on Aug. 15, but it shouldn’t be very difficult to sell the local kid on a chance to make a difference right off the bat for the Black and Gold.
He is a left shot, so it’s not the perfect fit for Chiarelli and Claude Julien in their preference for strict left shot/left wing-right shot/right wing division, but just about everything else feels right about a potential marriage between Hayes and the Bruins.

Interesting enough in the article Haggerty does talk about Florida and Calgary being potential destinations, but this twitter conversation happend after he posted the article:

Wouldn't be a shock if cap-challenged Bruins are keeping an eye on situation w/BC's Kevin Hayes and the Blackhawks ow.ly/zlI2t
Chris Abraham @CrzyCanucklehed
@HackswithHaggs Hes probably either going to Florida to play with his brother, or Calgary to play with his linemates from BC.
Joe Haggerty @HackswithHaggs
@CrzyCanucklehed Actually, he's not going to either of those places
