Good return all things considered. Actually great return... Now he just needs to sign.

Interesting. DW getting a pick out of someone everyone knew was not going to be re-signed. Wonder if we get similar value for Havlat.

Given the hoopla over how good the 2015 draft is, I'm glad thats when we get the pick

I'd imagine there were multiple teams who were interested in Boyle and NYI wanted to get first crack.

I'm shocked we managed to get anything.

 

[TealManV]

This is total Garth Snow move. I'm skeptical that Boyle would sign with the NYI unless the shell out some big money. But I hope he does to get that 4th. Strong work by DW, IMO. Love that it's for 2015.

Is he still any good?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I'm shocked that the Islanders weren't one of the eight teams Boyle wouldn't accept a trade to. lol

Is he still any good?

He needs to be sheltered at evens and can still be great on the PP but considering the make up of the Isles defense, if he signs he will fit in well.

Is he still any good?

PP specialist TBH and at very limited minutes yes can still be effective. Legs are pretty good.

 

[magic school bus]

Is he still any good?

He's a bottom pairing defenseman so not really.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Cool about what I hoped we'd get for his rights

 

[Broomout]

Take Havlat while you're at it New York

For all we know, he could have waived his NTC (or was it NMC?). After all, what does he care who has his negotiating rights from June 5, 2014 to just before July 1, 2014? Better it anybody other than the team that has said they won't be bringing you back.

I second this motion!

To not allow said team to gain an asset off of you when you have the option out of spite.

Do we have any reason to think Dan Boyle wants to spite the Sharks? You know what's more important than spite?

Money. If the Isles are gonna offer some ridiculous amount of money now, maybe he wants to listen.

Surely there are a few GMs out there watching Gaborik's success with the Kings and are salivating at the idea of taking Havlat on as a reclamation project, right?

He could've spoken to the Islanders on July 1 and gotten that money anyway...theoretically.

Great question I saw elsewhere from a friend:

What if the Isles turn around and trade his rights to another team? Who do the Sharks get a pick from, what pick, and how does the condition work if he goes to another team?

I'm guessing something like that is accounted for when this trade happens, right? Like perhaps we get the Isles 4th rounder automatically if they turn around and flip Boyle's rights elsewhere? Anyone know? I find the question fascinating.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Awwww man... I'd hate to see Boyle on the Islanders...

 

[ChompChomp]

Sure sure, but from now until July 1, he's under contract and was under contract with a team that wasn't going to make offer. No harm, no foul in now being under contract to a team until July 1 that will make an offer.
