Is that you Tomas? :sarcasm:

I like what he's done for us but I ultimately see him moved at the draft but if not then, definitely at the 2015 trade deadline. Tick tock, tick tock.....

If you wouldnt want Boyle on the panthers you dont know hockey. Thank god your not the GM. Thats like a Sabres fan complaining if they were to acquire Campbell.

Oh yeah, give us the cup now, we signed Dan Boyle. :yo:

Boyle would be our second best d man... Would fit nicely in the top pair with Campbell more so than anyone else we have or anyone in the fa market other than maybe niskanen...

Fine, do what you want. I'm tired of this 'shooting for mediocrity' crap. Dan Boyle is not going to improve this defense, at all.
And please stop assuming everyone here thinks Campbell is good, because saying we can put Boyle with Campbell is not impressing me at all. Putting the vision of Campbell and Boyle as our top pair in my head makes me fear people increasing their view of franchise as a joke.

Campbell and Boyle as top pairing on PP? Nice.

Top pairing for 5 v 5 play?
Lol.

He can put up points but his defensive game is 3rd pairing quality.

yeah, at the TDL if we're out of it, absolutely.

trading him now for close to nothing to "get rid of him"? thats what i find ridiculous

MintyFresh88 · May 2, 2014

I still want Boyle, but I wouldn't pair him with Campbell (except on PP).

I think he'd be a solid partner for Gudbranson (much better on-ice than Jovo anyway, while still bringing the experience/mentoring)

I have seen just ONE person suggest buying out Flash...thats not "people". Most "people" are suggesting trading him for pick(s) which isnt "scrap".

Its really not about the "one bad year" thing. Its the fact that, while he's a decent top 6 forward, we need to upgrade. With Huberdeau & Bergy on the LW as well, we have cheaper options for the other top 9 spots. Plus I dont see us re-signing him after next season anyway so its just moving an asset to improve the team. Sure we could probably hold onto him and hope he rebounds and probably trade him at the deadline. But we probably wont get more than picks for him then so if we can do the same now, we might as well do it.

If his replacement is better I don't mind packaging him and getting a smalller return than waiting untill the deadline. (which would mean we miss the playoffs)

What are the chances of Statsny signing here, and if he would, should we?

i think he resigns with colorado... they have tons of space... but if he would sign here absolutely we should... we need experience at center and would have to give up no assets to get him... i think anytime u can sign a player of that caliber u do if u have the space...jugs could play 3rd line center or move to wing.

Mogo · May 4, 2014

Campbell has to have his minutes cut down next season. Age is catching up to him

They have space, but they have to re-sign McGinn and ROR as well.

they have more than enough to sign those players as well.... only way i can see them not signing stastny is if they acquire a couple big money d men... they have plenty of cap to sign all their players and then some

Would you guys like Rick Nash on our team?

Rick "Flying Elbow" Nash?

No thanks.

RCDeltaFixer · May 8, 2014

Rick Nash? No. I was on the Rangers board last night and everyone seemed to hate him.

EnforceTheLaus · May 8, 2014

Given Nash's concussion history and seeming inability to elevate his game...no thanks.

For the right price, yes. At full contract, no.

Eh, I don't know if that's necessarily the case. His playing style absolutely allows him to play as much as he wants, at any age. He didn't look any worse last season than the season before.

The guy has scored two goals in 30 playoff games and gets paid 7.8 million... let that sink in for a while.

One of the most anti-clutch players out there.

gudzilla · May 15, 2014

campbell just needs a partner that fits him

And to think we could have had him instead of jay blow! :sarcasm:

Boyle will not be back with Sharks!

With the Boyle news

Boyle for 2 yrs x 5m
Mitchell for 2 yrs x 3m
Draft Ekblad

Campbell-Gudbransson
Boyle-Kulikov
Ekblad-Mitchell
Olson

I think trading Kulikov is a good idea though. Especially if he can be used to landed Speeza, Thornton, Marleau, Malkin etc a big name. Obvisouly not him alone for that kind of return!
