Kevin Hayes Ends NHL Career | Philadelphia Flyers News

Kevin Hayes is hanging up his skates after a gritty, injury-riddled NHL career, signing a one-year deal with AK Bars Kazan in the KHL. Drafted by Chicago and bouncing through Rangers, Winnipeg, and finally Philly — where he signed a $50M seven-year contract — Hayes battled personal tragedy, including the loss of his brother Jimmy, while still delivering solid play, notably in Philly’s 2020 playoff run. A Bill Masterton Trophy finalist for perseverance, he finished his NHL tenure with 185 goals and 261 assists in over 800 games, often a healthy scratch later in his time with Pittsburgh. Now, he’s chasing his passion overseas — a fitting end to a resilient, hard-fought ride. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
