Hayes will be used at the center position during the team's training camp this month, reports Andrew Gross of The Record. Coming off last season's 27-goal, 65-point pcampaign with Boston College, the newest member of the Rangers brings an immense amount of expectations. However, the 22-year-old former Hobey Baker finalist is currently blocked on the organization's winger depth charts. If Hayes is to start the NHL season with his parent club, he will have to fight off other center hopefuls J.T. Miller and Oscar Lindberg.
