Kevin Hayes at 50% got Philadelphia a 6th round pick
I think this trade might have had a big impact on the return of Toffoli, both players are the same age except Hayes has a longer contract at 3.57 mil for the next 3 years. Toffoli has 1 year remaining at 4.25. I think its more reasonable to think Toffoli has a 50-60 point season over another 70+ season based on his career history. I imagine Kevin Hayes will be a 40-50 point player for the next few seasons in St. Louis. If Calgary was able to retain on Toffoli I think we would have seen a better return.
