Just two days after trading Ivan Provorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Philadelphia Flyers are reportedly engaging in trade talks with Columbus again, this time involving forward Kevin Hayes.
Anthony Di Marco of The Fourth Period reported early Thursday afternoon that the Philadelphia Flyers and Columbus Blue Jackets were having discussions about a potential trade involving Kevin Hayes, and that these talks began before Thursday. One obstacle for any prospective trade is Hayes’ salary. Hayes has three years left on his contract with a cap hit ever-so-slightly above $7.
