Boyle is 22 years old. That's why he could only sign for two years.I thought all entry level contracts were 3 years?

the real question of interest is: where will they play him?
I know that he looked shaky at times durring the frozen four, but I think the upside is alot higher at D.
With his size and mobility I think he translates better to the blueline, that's assuming he can pick up his positioning and awareness. I would atleast give it an honest try (3, 4 months) before moving him back to center.
all i saw of him was a short clip of him doing odd-man rushes in practice but man he looked like a deer on ice trying to skate backwards. He stumbled every other stride when he was trying to pick up speed and/or change directions.
