we have ourselves a pure salary cap dump trade the Pittsburgh Penguins are acquiring Kevin Hayes and a 2025 second round pick 4 nothing future considerations the pens are taking over St Louis's extra salary and the cost to do it is a second St Louis freeing up that money it's 7142 million a year oh my goodness what a terrible contract for Kevin Hayes now the guy is making this amount of money till 2025 2026 32 years old he's a lot more of an older player of course and his Heyday with the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers man this seems like a world away but his 54 Point Season his career high season was just one year ago 2022 2023 he was not terrible for St Louis 29 Points 79 games played of course that's not like $7 million caliber production but at the same time I mean Kevin Hayes just did not provide much of the spark that he did in St Louis like he had with the Philadelphia Flyers I remember making the video about that first trade when that went down all those years ago I say all those years ago it was like last year but either way if you revisit that move I mean take a look at this so Philadelphia over to St Louis this was the move back in the day it was a sixth round pick in 2024 that's it that's all the St Louis Blues had to give up to get Hayes in the first place but I guess they didn't Vibe with the experiment they didn't think that he was all too productive nor too Progressive with their team so they're trading him away with a second for nothing this experiment cost the St Louis Blues a sixth and a second for a net neutral on their team they got hay from last year played him for a season didn't like him sent him away honestly it's a really careless move by St Louis if especially when you consider the grand scheme of him making 7.1 million already I guess the Philadelphia Flyers really just had some good bargaining I guess from last year up until this year so now from Philly to St Louis back over to Pennsylvania Kevin Hayes is now a Pittsburgh Penguin for nothing literally of course it's good for Pittsburgh because they're getting some extra graph Capital let me know your thoughts in the comment section below about this Kevin Hayes trade over to Pittsburgh I hope you enjoyed this Vish as r99 and bye
