The Rangers traded Hayes to the Jets on Monday for Brendan Lemieux, a 2019 first-round pick and another conditional pick, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes gives more fuel to a Jets team that is chocked full of imposing skaters and ranks sixth in the league offensively by means of averaging 3.35 goals per game. It's also a low-risk move for Winnipeg, as Hayes is on an expiring contract and will be eligible to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent this summer.
