Jimmy Hayes is set to have his arbitration hearing on July 29. Hayes is coming off of his entry-level contract. He had 11 goals and 18 points in 53 games last season.

Jimmy Hayes is a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. He filed for salary arbitration, but hearings won't start until July 20. Hayes played two games with Chicago last season before he was traded to Florida. In 53 matches with the Panthers, he accounted for 11 goals and seven assists.

Jimmy Hayes will represent Team USA at the World Hockey Championships in May. The tournament runs from May 9-25 in Minsk, Belarus. Hayes produced 11 goals and 18 points in 55 games this past season with Florida and Chicago. He skated in just two games with the Blackhawks before being moved to the Panthers.

Jimmy Hayes netted his 11th goal of the season as he and the hapless Panthers dropped a 3-2 decision to the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday night. Florida's other goal scorer was Vincent Trochek, his fifth of the season. It was the final game of the season for the Panthers, who have failed to qualify for the post-season in 12 of their past 13 campaigns.

Jimmy Hayes potted his 10th goal of the year in Sunday's loss to Anaheim. Krys Barch was originally credited with the marker and it would've ended a 76-game drought, but it was changed later after it was discovered that it banked off Hayes. Hayes has generated six goals and four assists in 13 games this month.

Don't look now, but Jimmy Hayes might be worth adding for those desperate for scoring. The Florida Panthers forward has five of his 13 points this season in the last five games, including four goals. He obviously doesn't have a long track record of success, but could conceivably remain hot in this final month; he scored two goals for the Panthers in a 4-3 SO loss to Vancouver on Sunday.

Florida Panthers youngster Jimmy Hayes recorded the first two-goal game of his NHL career, but his team lost to the Boston Bruins 5-2 on Sunday. Hayes now has seven goals and nine assists in 37 games played. He's obviously not quite there yet from a fantasy standpoint, but the Panthers hope that the 24-year-old might develop into a more productive NHL player in the future.

Jimmy Hayes will get some power-play time with the Panthers. "At 6-foot-6, he's got a big body, he's got decent hands down there and you can't teach size," interim bench boss Peter Horachek said. "We need to make it as difficlut as possible for goaltenders. That's one area we clearly have to do better, obviously." Florida has the 30th-ranked power play in the league.

Jimmy Hayes was a healthy scratch for Florida Monday night. He has dressed in 22 games, where he's notched four goals and one assist, with the Panthers since being acquired from Chicago. Florida also scratched Scott Gomez for the 14th time in the past 16 games.

Jimmy Hayes scored a goal in Florida's 2-1 win over Detroit. Hayes has three goals and four points in 10 games since he was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks. At the same time, he's averaging just 9:30 minutes per contest in Florida and that has to change before he'll have any sustained fantasy value.
