They could offer full bonuses with the bonus cushion. The Bruins would risk those bonuses counting toward next season if Hayes achieved them and it put them over the cap.
Also to add fuel to the Boston fire, Kevin Hayes has a cousin, Ryan Fitzgerald who plays at BC and is a Bruins 4th round draft pick.
Scott Fitzgerald, brother to Ryan and cousin to Hayes, has worked for the Bruins as a scout since 2006. He currently holds the title of Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting.
So not only do the Bruins have room for him, Boston is his hometown, but he has some pretty good family ties with the Bruins.
