LA Kings legend on the move.

 

[glucker]

man, I would have loved him on the Leafs.

Obviously depends on what's given up, but smart move by the Preds.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

knew it. Hope its for a minimal draft pick

 

[Tatar Shots]

1 of 2. Have to imagine they add one of the plethora of wingers available as well.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That seems like an odd fit, considering the Predators have like a billion centers and are deep at forward.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Thankfully he isn't coming to Montreal.

 

[Sheros expletives]

Wouldn't mind re-signing in the summer, super cool guy.

 

[Baksfamous112]

A second round pick, maybe?

 

[Leonardo87]

Good for Boyle, to get back on a contender if this happens!

 

[Kamiccolo]

I wonder who Lou is going to trade a 2nd for now?

 

[BonMorrison]

Um - sure, I guess. He's better than Gaudreau so this will make us slightly better.

Forsberg - Johansen - Arvidsson
Fiala - Turris - Smith
Sissons - Bonino - Jarnkrok
Hartman - Boyle - Grimaldi

Watson replacement

 

[HogTown06]

Good for Nashville and good for Boyle!

 

[predfan24]

Hopefully for nothing crazy. My main issue with the move is we aren't the fastest team as it is.

Forsberg - Johansen - Arvidsson
Fiala - Turris - Smith
Sissons - Bonino - Jarnkrok
Hartman - Boyle - Grimaldi

He is a significant upgrade over Gaudreau in my mind, especially in a series with Winnipeg.

Hopefully it’s for a 1st

 

[BatVader]

Interesting...

 

[predfan24]

Hopefully it’s for a 1st

Zero chance. Preds need their 1st for a top six upgrade.

 

[seabass45]

Good for Boyle, good for Nashville, good for Isles fans who want to keep our second round pick.

 

[BonMorrison]

From what I've seen from Devils fans, his play is not as good as his stats lead on. Could be wrong tho if any Devils fans want to chime in.

 

[The Macho King]

He's a great 4th liner, and I think he fits the Preds better than some other teams.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Zero chance. Preds need their 1st for a top six upgrade.

Wishful thinking on my part. But I do expect/hope for a 2nd.

if NSH is loaded at center, Boyle has played quite a bit of wing for NJ this season. so he is versatile in that sense.

 

[Kranix]

Noooooo. Aaaa! I was hoping that half-giant would stay in the East
