However, the trade fell through and Hayes was eventually traded to St. Louis in a different deal.
Adding on to what I addressed earlier:
Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts, believes both John LeClair and Cam Atkinson are trying to sway #stlblues Torey Krug to waive his NTC.

Must read on FlyersInsider
Torey Krug originally planned to be a significant part of the trade coming back to Philadelphia, but it seems that he was not informed of the trade and put a stop to it.
The Flyers organization made efforts to recruit Krug, even involving former Flyer John LeClair and respected player Cam Atkinson.
Despite these efforts, Krug did not waive his no-trade clause to come to Philadelphia. It is understandable that Krug, being a veteran player, prefers the comfort of knowing where he will play next year. However, it is indeed peculiar that they attempted to trade him in the first place.
