The Blues have acquired Kevin Hayes from the Flyers for a 2024 sixth-round pick.

Hayes is coming off of one of the best seasons of his nine-year career, posting 54 points (18G / 36A) in 81 games. However, most of that production came in the first half of the season, with Hayes picking up just seven points (1G / 6A) in his final 28 games. With the Flyers retaining 50 percent of Hayes' contract, he will only cost the Blues $3.571 million over the next three seasons. He will likely settle in as a middle-6 centre in St. Louis behind Robert Thomas.

Hayes (lower-body) is a "possibility" to play Saturday vs. the Blackhawks.

Hayes has been out since January 17th but took part in Thursday's optional morning skate and is a "possibility" to return to the lineup on Saturday. Hayes has appeared in just 20 games this season, scoring three goals and six assists (nine points).

Hayes underwent abdominal surgery on Tuesday and will miss 6-to-8 weeks.

We are three weeks away from the start of the 2021-22 season, so Hayes will miss at least the first three weeks of the new season. With Hayes out, Claude Giroux may have to shift back to the middle of the ice for a few weeks or Scott Laughton/Derick Brassard will play larger roles than originally expected.
