Hayes? highest career point total was last season with the majority of it playing shut down center on a lottery team.
Thinking 7.14m is an over payment is laughable.
As Phil stated, the term is what?s hard to swallow, but if Hayes continues a shut down role while producing decent points and you end up with something that might be a very low end Patrice Bergeron, then it?s ok to pay him 7.14m.
This deal could end up being a low key steal.
Also, Hayes and I have the same dealer so, I?ll get off my cloud now.
