The deal kicks in for the 2025-26 season, securing his spot in the organization through 2026-27.<\/p><p>Though Hayes wasn&rsquo;t drafted, he&rsquo;s no stranger to the Penguins system. The 22-year-old forward has spent the last two seasons playing for their AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins. His first year in the pros was an adjustment, producing just nine points in 29 games and even spending a short stint in the ECHL. However, this season has been a different story.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Penguins have signed forward Avery Hayes to a two-year entry-level contract.<br><br>Hayes has spent the 2024.25 season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WBSPenguins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@WBSPenguins<\/a>.

He joins Chase Pietila and Daniel Laatsch as the latest prospects to sign entry-level contracts with Pittsburgh in the past four days.<\/p><p>This is a well-earned opportunity for Hayes, who has proven his potential at the AHL level.
