Could This Unknown Penguins Prospect Shock Everyone and Secure an NHL Roster Spot Right Out of Camp?
But – despite being a bit undersized – Hayes’s all-around game makes him an intriguing player. He’s good in all three zones, can play in all situations, and isn’t afraid to drive the net. He’s also a good forechecker.
Some – such as Jesse Marshall of Elite Prospects – have compared him to Penguins’ top-six forward Bryan Rust, who has a similar skillset and work ethic, started as a fourth-liner at the NHL level, and worked his way up to the top line – and has now put together six straight seasons of 20 or more goals.
