no, he's more like a 2nd line center...
but as people have noted, trading for a #1 costs a lot... Hayes at least gives you 2 2nd line centers adding further depth to the lineup.
i am sure of his skating however, so that would be something to look into...
Zucker would be great, but i heard that the deal blew up because there was a child custody issue and Zucker didn't want to leave the state as a result.
i would seriously look at targeting Kapanen or Johnsson from the leafs with offersheets... Kapanen would be the fastest skater on the flames immediately and Johnsson is a kid looking like he could be a star in the making.
otherwise the UFA market is always a bit slim... Skinner? Duchene? Eberle?
Brock Nelson and Colin Wilson are both guys i think raise their games in the playoffs so i'd look at them too.
going to be moves this summer though... some big ones i think
