So looking through some top 4 right handed defense men, I thought of an interesting trade scenario that no one had really talked about yet. Lebrun reported a while a go that Dan Boyle may be available. Yes he is older, but I think he would be an absolute stud beside phaneuf and provide a veteran presence. I'm not sure what the cost would be, but the fit is there, and haven't really heard anyone talk about it yet.
I'd love Boyle and still think he has a few more really good years in him.
If we somehow managed to get him without touching our top assets (Kessel, JVR, Phaneuf, Kadri, Lupul, Rielly, Gardiner, 1st this year) he could take us to that next level.
Look at how big of a difference a healthy Markov has made in Montreal and that is the type of impact we could expect from Boyle.
I wouldn't have any problem giving that much cap space to Boyle. It's just how many assets we'd have to trade that could be the problem.
