Report: Flyers, Kevin Hayes closing in on seven-year deal

After the Flyers acquired the negotiating rights to Hayes earlier this month, the team looks to be closing in on a huge deal, according to Bob McKenzie of TSN Network. With the potential for Hayes to hit the open market on July 1, the Flyers are expected to sign him to a seven-year deal worth $50 million. The length of the deal is still currently unknown, but it's looking like a big payday for the 27-year-old center. He's coming off a fantastic season for the Jets and Rangers, combining for 19 goals and 54 points overall.

PHI and pending UFA Kevin Hayes are closing in on a multi-year contract with an AAV of around $7M. Term expected to be at least six years, perhaps seven. Prepare to take another UFA off the board.
