A bad Jake is still ten times the offensive player Hayes is. Gotta get Jake going.

He couldn’t possibly wonder why his ice time has been trimmed. He has been god awful. But in his defense, the whole team has been tonight.

Simpler to make PP2 the top unit. They are clearly the superior PP unit so far.

Giroux Career high 102 points
Voracek career high 85 points
Couturier career high 76 points 2x
Shayne Gostisbehere career high 65 points
Van Riemsdyk career high 62 points

Kevin Hayes career high 54 points

I think a lot of us had Hayes penciled in as our second line center, second unit power play guy, fair? So none of you are upset that AV could be playing Hayes above his skill level? Is it wrong to believe I’m seeing another Hakstol and Vandevalde love connection?

4 games into a season , yes I believe you are wrong in seeing a Hak + VDV love connection.

So I didn’t see Couturier have 76 career seasons next to Giroux on the top line along with top power play time. Must have been a dream.

In all seriousness though, most players who sign 7 plus million instantly impact their team and don’t need “time”.

Matt Duchene has nine points in 5 games.

I don’t think it’s working (Hayes line) and said so yesterday. No chemistry. I do think Hayes could center Lindblom and TK and not mess up the chemistry they have developed.

Not that I wouldn’t love for it to suddenly click.

Dang it!

He's played 3.5 games on a new team and has a goal. Overreacting much?

You're going to get criticized for your criticism of Hayes but its completely valid. He isn't a guy that is going to put up huge point totals. He is effective at controlling the puck, winning puck battles, and being defensively sound. Also, his contract will most likely be a burden as the years start to tick away.

I'm certainly not writing the guy off since the season just started, but there are questions as to whether or not it was a good signing which can only be answered over the coming years.
