[GeNeXt]

Pretty solid bottom-six signing. Like the term too.

 

[Comparison Ford]

kinda love this.

a lack of toughness and leadership was way too present last year. you know that's the case when players like John Moore are calling out the team.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

He is arguably the best 4C in the league and we needed to add some sandpaper down there. I don't hate it.

 

[DerekDevils30]

I like it a lot. Perfect insulation to allow Wood and Noesen to do their thing. Its a youth movement but you need veterans too.

Zajac-Hischier-McLeod-Boyle C group?

 

[Blender]

Solid signing. Can't go wrong there.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Excellent signing for the bottom 6

 

[MartyOwns]

excellent start

 

[tr83]

Excellent!!!!!

 

[Game Breaker]

Very happy with this. This is a competitive signing - I have to think a few big things are in the works.

 

[Classic Devil]

I like the signing in the abstract, but I wonder what it means for the rest of the lineup.

 

[Devils731]

Boyle provides some stability which can help the whole lineup.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I like the signing in the abstract, but I wonder what it means for the rest of the lineup.

Keeps kids out of the 4th line. Someone won't be making the team, which isn't the worst thing.

 

[DEVILS130]

I'm totally ok with this. Very solid 4C

 

[Bologna 1]

Like it. Term is good and have enough cap space where aav doesn't really matter given what Boyle could possibly demand. I bet it's higher if he came to a non contender.

 

[Devils Trap]

Boyle is a dude who wants to win. Doubt he signs here unless he feels we can win

Kinda excited for the rest of the summer

 

[tr83]

Wrong thread

 

[AfroThunder396]

Re: Center situation. I see these options

1. McLeod goes back to juniors (skeptical given Shero's comments)
2. Henrique and Zacha are permanently moved to LW (possible)
3. Something else is brewing (we always say this, grain of salt)

 

[Blender]

$5.1M for 2 years. Fine by me.

 

[NJDevils17]

Great leader, great 4C, great fit. I'm very happy with this. Our bottom six is improved.

 

[DanteDevilsHockey]

So does this shift Henrique and Zacha to the wing

With our Center depth looking like this

Zajac
Hischier
McLeod
Boyle

OR does McLeod go back to juniors and Zacha fills the 3C

 

[mtnet]

I'm digging this, good term.

Huge dude, brings some grit, and can contribute in a variety of ways for a team still finding its way with lots of youngsters.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

$2.55/year is a bit higher than I'd like, but its not like it matters

 

[SeidoN]

no problems here. pocket change right now

 

[Marv4Life]

If he can still win faceoffs it's not a bad signing.
