I think the Flames have as good of shot as anyone. However, I don't know what people expect long term out of Hayes? I see a likely 3rd line RW, with 2nd line upside. I feel we already have that in Colborne. While I'd be happy if we signed him, because we would be adding a quality young player without giving up any assets, I just don't know if this is a top 6 player long term in the NHL. He may very well be, and the Flames should sign him because you can never have to many of these types of young guys. I just don't view him as a lock for anything, but his all around package sure is enticing!
