Calgary isn't really in that same boat.
I don't think a guy like Hayes can afford to look 10-15 years down the road anyway so its probably a moot point.
I would think any team that makes him the best assurance of NHL ice time in the next couple of years is the leading candidate.

No, I think you are.
As a player, I am looking at the rosters. And I see two things:
1) a pretty equal chance of making the big club quickly in either case, and
2) a younger roster that is going to bode better for me going forward
What has happened in the past is irrelevant.
