If you haven’t heard Kevin Hayes name by now you might just live under a rock. Whether he’s talented or not is beside the point right now, everyone heard about him this offseason when he said see ya later to the Chicago Blackhawks. He hit free agency and signed with the New York Rangers.

Now all eyes will be on Hayes to prove he can back up his bold move and the attention he got this offseason. He had a fantastic senior year at Boston College where he recorded 27 goals and 38 assists in 40 games.
