If he has an issue with starting in the minors (very good chance both his BC line mates start there as well), then he really should take another look at things.

The best road isn't always a fast track into the NHL. Look at Sven. He produced well early but in such a small sample size he felt a degree of entitlement at development camp the next year. Hayes' situation would be different if he landed here. He would be starting from camp and he would have to earn a spot rather than be an emergency call up like Sven was.

Can teams offer him a one way deal vs a two way deal? If so, that may play a factor. I think it is a standard contract of some sort that can't be deviated from. Any insight? Apologies if it was explained earlier. I haven't read the whole thread.
