Sounds like Gaudreau did put some pressure on for him to sign with the Flames:

Congrats to my best bud @KevinPHayes12 for signing with the @NewYorkRangers_ today. Even if it wasn't where I wanted him to end up at!!

Would have been happy to see the Flames get him, but not disappointed that they didn't.

I would have liked the free asset. That's it.

It's great that Brad is turning over rocks to see what he can find. Fill the cupboards and trade the guys who start getting stinky.

As expected Hayes got max ELC with full bonuses:

edit: actually that is max he can get as a 2010 draft pick

I know no one will echo this, but I feel sorry for Hawks fans. It's really gotta suck to lose a 1st rounder for NOTHING. At least we got something back for Erickson.

Edit: I am dumb.

I thought the first post in this thread said that they'll get a 2nd rounder?

Well, they are getting a compensatory pick... And in a draft where the general consensus says is it's one of the deepest drafts ever in history. I bet Hawks' fans were angered at first, but pretty sure no one is losing sleep over it.

He'll be traded within 2 years once Sather gets the opportunity to acquire his next shiny new toy.

Geez that is concerning, doesn't Johnny read CP, this Hayes guy sucks, he is terrible and overhyped. Why would Johnny want to have that type of overblown overhyped prima dona on his team? Read CP to get your hockey intel Johnny before you do something crazy like try to convince a former 1st rounder to sign with us.

Wow, you are one bitter dude. You must be great fun at parties, rambling at the potted plant in the corner about stealing all the sunshine and angrily yelling at clouds....

I don't understand why being close to home was such a huge factor, in the pros you're gonna be travelling all over anwyays. If he wants the best chance to play in the NHL at all, RW strength and roster availability would be first on your list of priorities. What a momma's boy.

He should've listened to Gaudreau.

Please this thread went from sign him he is a great prospect (when people thought the Flames would sign him) to we should not get some prima dona who is so self centered that unsubstantiated Internet rumours have him demanding a NHL position to good he sucked anyway and will be traded in two years like Erixon. I am pretty sure the bitterness is the hypocrisy of those latter positions. It is too bad he did not sign in Calgary, I thought he was a good prospect to start and still think he is a good prospect. 6'4 wingers who put up 65 points in the NCAA do not come along everyday.

Some people joked about not liking him, but I never got the impression they were all that serious.

One of the worst posters on the site. Best ignored.

Surprising to see Hayes go to the Rags as they are pretty full at his position but a young guys chance to live the dream in the big apple makes sense. Best of luck to him.

I never thought Florida was a legit option. I would hate to play the same position as my brother and beat him for a spot.

Calgary never has a free roster spot for rookies. We always carry too many vets and ice them anyways because" injuries happen". I'm sure its very demoralizing for our prospects. I can't say I blame Hayes for his choice.

I hope they Tom Erixon him and trade him to the Blackhawks for Brad Richards.
