Vegas sends D Zack Hayes to Carolina
The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights have pulled off a trade, albeit a fairly minor one. Vegas has sent defenceman Zack Hayes to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for future considerations.
"Zack is a young defenseman who will add to our organizational depth on the blue line," said Canes GM Don Waddell. "He is an experienced leader who knows how to play physically on the back end."
Hayes wasn't drafted. The 23-year-old, 6'3", 224-pounder was signed to a one-year contract with the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights after becoming a leader with the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League (WHL). He got a full-fledged entry-level contract with the Vegas in 2020-21 for a period of three years. Since then, he's managed three games in the NHL, with no goals or assists.
