Good for the Jets for getting something for nothing.

I think we underestimate how stressful UFA time is for these guys. Especially a player like Kevin Hayes.
Philly was probably pretty high on his destination list, and it's not like the Flyers are known for cheaping out on guys. So if Philly wanted you enough to trade a 5th, they'll probably be willing to sign you to something starting with a 6, and you can go about enjoying your summer.
Now, someone's rights get traded to Edmonton or Buffalo, see you Canada Day.
