Hayes will lineup on the wing on the team's second unit reports Andrew Gross of The Record.

EDGE Analysis

Perhaps the worst kept secret of training camp, Hayes will lineup with Chris Kreider and center Derek Stepan to start the season. The 23-year-old exceeded expectations in his rookie campaign, posting 17 goals and 28 assists mostly as a third line center. Armed with top-six minutes, sky's the limit for what was most likely a mid-to-late round pick in most draft formats.
