you really love to argue EVERYTHING, don't you?
give me Fayne over Boychuk any day of the week. plus he is like 4 years younger.
Yikes. Boychuk >> Fayne.
Boychuk was only behind Chara in 5 on 5 time and 4 on 5 time for BOS.
Not really - your view just doesn't hold water. Boychuk is very underrated if you think he isn't worth a 2 - 2nd round picks (1 this and 1 next year) and a conditional 3rd. He is going to play 22+ minutes.
for 1 season and then probably walk.
solid deals for the Isles. Bruins fans must be livid to lose Boychuk for that return
no GM would take Fayne over Boychuk
and once again the Isles will be the 'next big thing' and do absolutely nothing
They may actually live up to the HFDevils board hype this year now that they have a real NHL defense/goaltending combo
That's what everyone said about Halak and a couple of the other guys people assumed the Isles couldn't sign but did. They're not going to be playing in the dump after this year either, that was one reason FA's ran away from them screaming in the past.
all the Isle's need now is a real coach
No, they are just going to be playing in arena where they have to take out the lower bowl to even fit the rink. I don't think Brooklyn is going to be this panacea Islander fans think it will be.
That said if they win they will be able to keep players. If they are even a bubble team he probably walks.
Captain Jack better be renting instead of buying. If they go even 4-5-1 out of the gate he might be gone.
wonder if Bylsma could be hired if Jack gets the ax
lol the Isles would REALLY go into rival status then, I can't stand that pretentious *****
whatever you say
Boychuk is a pending UFA who turns 31 in 3 months. lets not act like they got some surefire top pairing DMan for the next decade here.
hes a #4/5 guy IMO
you can't LTIR someone until the season starts. so they have to be compliant before then.
yes. hes not that good. probably a #4/5
if Boston had offered two 2nds + for Fayne last offseason I would've done it in a heartbeat. and Fayne is a better player.
I can appreciate your passion but when you make these statements you just lose credibility. Fayne is no where near the better player. I will agree with you on one thing, if anyone offered two 2nds for Fayne I would've jumped all over that as well.
