TL;DR

The Philadelphia Flyers have traded center Kevin Hayes to the St. Louis Blues for a 2024 sixth-round pick, with the Flyers retaining 50% of Hayes' $7.142 million cap hit. The trade allows the Blues to add a top-six center at a reduced salary without giving up one of their three first-round picks in the NHL draft. Hayes, who just finished his fourth season in Philadelphia, scored 18 goals and 54 points for the Flyers. The move is the latest in the Flyers' rebuild, which has seen them shed cap space and get younger.
