I forgot that Johnson was his teammate, should help to get him acclimated.
I was thinking he could be a great mentor for Pulock. Both are RHD, both have a cannon, and neither are afraid to throw the body.
Hope they get to spend some time together.

Exactly. Hammer is a better skater, could play at 220 lbs. and has the snarl and competitiveness. His shot is a heavy one, he just has to learn how to get it through and on net which Manchuck can teach him.

That always gets me when a player (newly acquired or otherwise) says something along the lines of "They've got a really good team here." Boychuk's been here for a minute and he's already talking "us". Its a stupid, small thing, but I love to see it.

I try not to put too much into typical PR jargon like this but it's still nice to hear

i love how last night he was pissed coming here and now he is one of us.....people need to stop over-reacting to every tweet and comment....the guy is a stand-up guy and a true professional....that will not change.....very happy to have him
Exactly. The guy just got traded from a team he spent years with and won a cup with. Of course he's going to have mixed feelings.

I think this is huge, and after the team starts winning, I can see him signing with us. Also excited that him and Leddy have been getting PP time in practice already. Boychuck isn't just a thumper, I believe he scored double digit goals and 60+ points one year in the AHL. He may actually chip in 5+ goals and 30+ points along with his toughness.

Saw somewhere that JB called him five minutes after he found out he was traded he sounds pretty excited to have him on board.

If he gets more PP time here than he did in BOS, then it's totally possible. But even if he doesn't, it's not a big deal.
Man, Friday can't come fast enough
I saw this thread title and thought, "Ruh Roh...". Visions of Vanek cheesing on the club at a bad time... Much relieved on reading. I want this guy signed, bad. 7 years, I don't care just do it.

Don't get me wrong... I'm glad the Isles picked up this guy because the alternative is players like Strait and Carkner. This guy is just a nice, solid player. But, I don't get the gushing. It's not like Snow picked up Nicklas Lidstrom. I don't see anyway that signing him to a 7 year deal would make a lick of sense, for example.

He's the type of player all great teams need to win...and represents something we have not had in quite some time. I'd offer him upwards of 6 per over 5 years without blinking an eye.

Wow, really? That would put him like top 12 in the league amongst defensemen. That would be silly, IMO.

This...
...and if you look at the trend with regard to what top 4 defeseman are fetching on July 1st the past few years, 6 million per will be a bargain by the time the contract is done.
