The Philadelphia Flyers traded forward Kevin Hayes to the St. Louis Blues for a 2024 sixth-round draft pick on Tuesday.
The Flyers will retain 50 percent of Hayes’ salary on the remaining three seasons of his contract, the team announced.
Each team will incur a cap hit of roughly $3.57 million in 2023-24. Hayes signed a seven-year, $50 million extension with Philadelphia in July 2019.
Hayes, 31, tallied 54 points (18 goals 36 assists) in 81 games this past season, his fourth in Philadelphia.
The former first-round pick (No. 24 overall in 2010) has 386 points (155 goals, 231 assists) in 634 career games with the New York Rangers (2014-19), Winnipeg (2019) and Flyers.
The Flyers acquired Hayes from Winnipeg in June 2019.
