Travis Hayes
Position(s): Right Wing Realistic Potential Rating (1-10): 4.5D Draft Year: 2025

Fantasy Summary

A shoot-first winger who has speed and a high-end motor. Project as a bottom-six forward with underrated offensive capabilities.

Observations

August 2025 – Hayes’ second year with the Soo Greyhounds was markedly better than his first. He improved in nearly every area of his game, but most notably his scoring ability. The brother of Blackhawks prospect Gavin Hayes, Travis plays a high-motor style that makes him an intriguing forward prospect. Nick Orr

June 2025 – The Pittsburgh Penguins selected Travis Hayes in the fourth round (105th overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft. Mark Henry
