2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hayden was scoreless in three NHL games in 2025-26. That's somewhat of a good sign -- the Kraken leaned more on young players, allowing the veteran forward to serve as a leader for AHL Coachella Valley, where he had 13 goals, 11 assists and 127 PIM over 67 regular-season appearances. Hayden adds plenty of toughness, but his chances at NHL minutes are decreasing as he ages, especially with as many as four potentially NHL-ready prospects who could make the jump to Seattle. Don't expect the 31-year-old to see much time with the big club in 2026-27. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Kraken in May of 2025.
Sent down Wednesday
Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After being called up by the Kraken on Oct. 17, Hayden made three appearances with the NHL club. He was held scoreless with seven hits and two blocked shots, but he didn't appear in any of Seattle's last three games and should have an opportunity to see more consistent time on the ice in the minors.

Hayden has emerged as a steady in-betweener in recent years, providing a bit of toughness when he gets called up to the NHL. Last season, he had two points, 44 hits and 31 PIM over 20 games with the Kraken as well as 27 points in 44 regular-season appearances for AHL Coachella Valley. Hayden may not win a job out of camp, especially if a prospect has a good showing, but it's a safe bet he'll see some NHL time, even if limited to fourth-line duties, during the 2025-26 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suiting up for Team USA
Hayden will participate in the 2022 IIHF World Championship with the United States, Brayton J Wilson of WGR 550 reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hayden is far from an offensive stud with just four points in 55 games for the Sabres this season, so his inclusion on the Team USA roster was a little surprising. Without much in the way of offensive productivity, Hayden shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value next year.
