In 2024-25, Haymes' final season before signing the deal with the Maple Leafs the forward posted 12 goals and six assists across 22 games, before joining the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies on an amateur tryout. In nine games with the Marlies, Haymes recorded two goals and four assists. Through 42 games this season, the 22-year-old has scored seven goals, while chipping in nine assists, tied for the eighth-most points among all Marlies skaters.
There were few players who scored more this weekend than Haymes. He racked up two goals and two assists for four points during the two games this weekend. While it's only two games against another team prospect, this is a very encouraging sign. It shows that Haymes is good enough to hang with some of the best prospects in the NHL. Despite having little experience with the pro level, he's already able to make an impact.
