John Giannone: New York Rangers forward Kevin Hayes: “I had a great conversation with Dru (Chris Drury) and Gorts (GM Jeff Gorton) as soon as I signed my contract. I believe there’s no inclination of me being trade bait or me thinking that I’m going to be out of here. I did not sign a one-year deal to go to free agency.”
John Giannone: Hayes continues: “I love this organization, I love the city, what the city demands, the determination and hard work. This is where I want to be for my whole entire career.
