Hayes drives the net, gets inside positioning on defenders, and screens the goalie, battling much larger defenders to do so. When the puck deflects to the back wall, he hunts it down, winning possession back and passing it to teammates. He creates turnovers by getting on the heels of defenders on the forecheck and in the neutral zone, forcing them to rush their plays. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
