Confirmed Trade: [NSH/NJD] Brian Boyle for 2019 2nd round pick

[Mickey Marner]

Boyle is the new Mike Sillinger.

 

[serp]

Seems a bit expensive for the current version of Boyle but whatever . Not sure if he will help the Preds in any way.

 

[one2gamble]

That's crazy talk

 

[Jerzey Devil]

lol. youre delusional and a homer if you think brian ****ing boyle gets a 1st

And your reading comprehension is sorry as shit if you think “Hope” means expectation. Or you could have kept reading when I said it was wishful thinking.

 

[CSKA1974]

Preds getting gritty for the potential Jets match up. Like that move for them.

Did they trade with Flyers?

 

[justafan22]

Especially if that 2nd pick is likely to be around #59...

it's a good deal for both teams, but I feel as if people over-value non 1st round picks a bit too much here.

 

[Esq]

From a Hawks (i.e. seller's) perspective, I love seeing 4th liners go for 2nd round picks.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

How about HF Boards and overrating the value of draft picks outside the 1st round?

Modern era of scouting, drafting, development at an all time high. The odds are increasing that 2nd rounders will be far better players than the rentals they're traded for.

Especially just a Boyle type. Nashville is desperate and with good reason to get over the hump but... not a good trade.

I wouldn't call Nashville desperate, just poised to get to the Finals again. It's worth a pick if you get someone who will make a difference for you.

Do you have any quantifiable evidence for this claim?

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

yup, he went for a 2nd and a contract to the leafs, said in the other thread his value was the same. and boom.

Teams who consider themselves in win now mode are willing to sacrifice future potential for a chance to win...now.

 

[Frelimo]

Boyle for a second seems like a staple now

 

[AfroThunder396]

That's a high price to pay, but you Preds fans are going to love Boyle. Heart and soul guy, strong leader, smart, and more skilled than you're expecting.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Boyle for a second seems like a staple now

Ryder + Halak + Boyle?

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I don't get the late 2nd is a high price to pay. Looking through our draft picks...sure there are players that I would prefer that have developed well, but there are a LOT who I have no idea who the hell they are.

 

[devils29]

I’d assume he re-signs with Devils in the off season since his doctor is close by and his family likes it there.

 

[tmg]

These two teams' seconds this decade include Merrill, Severson, Santini, Blackwood, Josi, Salomaki, Aberg, Sissons, Kamanev, Girard. And of course a bunch of busts and players too young yet to know if they'll be NHLers (and some years when they simply didn't have second round picks).

A second is by no means a lock for greatness, but it's a fairly good chance it becomes an NHL player.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Do you have any quantifiable evidence for this claim?

It's merely a hypothesis at this point but looking back in a few years considering the trend of the first round youth being more impactful at younger ages than ever... no reason to think it doesn't trickle down to later rounds.

You really think Boyle is the missing piece? If so the overpayment is fine but surely Nashville could have done better.

 

[benedictTavares]

They overpaid but who cares they got who they were targeting. Curious to see how this sets the market for the rest of the sellers. Are the predators done?

 

[inthe6ix]

Preds have enough C's (RyJo, Turris, Sissons, Bonino, etc).. wonder if this is any indication that Watson will not be back in the lineup for a while because of his off-ice issues since Boyle can also play wing.

 

[Sensinitis]

Damn a 2nd for Boyle?

Come on Dorion if you’re not a complete dumbass the Sens can get some nice picks and assets back during this firesale.

 

[Gh24]

Tough to imagine Boyle getting any more than that. I wonder if that means that Nashville is going to go all-in this year and make a big move for Stone. Or use their 1st rounder to get a winger.

It seems so. I hope so. I think both Tolvanen and 1st would go the other way if we're getting Stone with an extension. Much like what happened with Turris.

I think so. I didn't feel like we needed to make a move like this until he was out.

Sissons has played winger lately. I believe Boyle replaces Gaudreau in 4th, which alone is a good thing.
