by from on (#33SMN)
Jimmy Hayes has parlayed his PTO with the New Jersey Devils into a one-way contract, joining the club on a one-year, $700,000 deal, the team announced Sunday.
Hayes was bought out by the Boston Bruins after a dreadful five-point output in 2016-17, leading him to Devils training camp on a tryout basis this summer. In five preseason games with New Jersey, the 27-year-old notched one goal and two assists to solidify a spot on the roster.
Over his seven-year career, Hayes has also spent time with the Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers. In 301 contests, he's recorded 51 goals and 49 assists.
