Hayes should be able to slot into their 3rd line with the intention to push into a 2nd line role with some elite talent to play with.
i think we'll see them improve the dcorpse over the next season or two to round them into being a bonafide western conference contender.

The issue in this new cap era is there's no way the Avs can afford to keep all those guys long-term. Yeah they're together now, but it's fairly safe to say they won't all be together 4-5 years from now.
