I'm kinda disappointed just because I think we could have gotten something pretty decent for him at the trading deadline. Too bad we couldn't have traded him, then have him sign with us in the off-season. Oh well.
But now that it appears that he'll be with us for a while, I'm cool with it. I love how he battles for pucks and obviously his shootout game.

He's been really effective. Most surprisingly, he found a defensive game. I like that we're bringing him back. If we're ever going to make the playoffs we'll need to do well in the shootout and he's about as good as it gets.

We need offense and people are complaining we resigned Boyes? LOL. For anybody thinking we could put the money to better use its completely unrealistic that Vanek/Moulson/Gaborik will sign with US...... THE FLORIDA PANTHERS.
I mean come on what's the persuasion to get a big name.........? Come play for Florida! We have Scottie Upshall leading the team in points lmao

Yup. Can score, strong on the forecheck, great at shootouts , not a liability with the puck. Yet people are complaining?!?

Peace be with you.
He's been a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure why he's been viewed as a lazy player by his past teams' fans.
I've been a critic of his on this forum, just not a huge fan, fairly one-dimensional guy so he needs to be scoring fairly often to be of use. That being said I can live with it or not "upset," as I appreciate his offense and seems like a great team guy, just wish we could get a better scoring RWer or a more two-way guy, but maybe that will come during the draft sometime.

Unsurprisingly, most of these posts are ridiculous. He's done really well here, he's the SO king, he has a two way game, and probably most important he has great chemistry with Barkov. I'm thrilled he's being brought back, and I don't think he's going to be overpaid either.
We need to keep the guys that are doing well and meshing with the youth, don't get why you guys can't see this. Move who isn't working. Picks and prospects aren't guarantees, not as close as Boyes is.
Of course, it is Harvey, so we'll have to wait and see.

Not complaining because signing Boyes. If you had been around here long enough you'd see thru the smoke screen. Here's how it goes
- Team tells us fans there gonna be spending money
- Team resigns it's own UFA's
- Team signs couple 4th liners in UFA period
- Team tells fans there happy with the team they got. Guys will be better than last season, injuries where the main reason we sucked and youngsters will be one year older and BETTER
Rinse and repeat
Just like when Bure was traded and we were told the money Bure contract opened up would be spent of free agents. Well.. It was on signing our own RFA's
In the end the we'll be spending more money could just once again be that we'll be signing our own UFA's and we'll be heading into next season with the same team. I dont see us signing a big name UFA but you can always acquire a solid player making big $$$. We should have the freaking assests to do it!
I'm happy if we sign him for fair price. I just don't want us to go into next season with him as our #1 rw. It'll be another season we just might as well forget then

I think most of us here are worrying that DT views Boyes as a #1 RW and won't sign one in the off season, when it's arguably the team's most glaring need.

I can't understand people being pissed about this.
Boyes has turned his game around here and clearly likes being here. We were the only team willing to give him a shot and he responded well. Boyes is a fine 2nd line RW and his shootout ability is unmatched in this league.

Honestly, what else could you want from a player? He has come in, proven himself, and deserves to be rewarded. The whole, oh, let's ship him and get some draft picks/prospects mentality is just bonkers. You'd wait ~5 years for a player to MAYBE turn into Brad Boyes type performance? Why move one of the only bright spots on this season. He's still fairly young and performs well here. Lock the guy up to a 2 year, 3mm contract.

Awsome guy on a 3rd line (if we can sign 2 UFA) and great at shoot out that would mean some extra points, i rather resign him then get a 2nd round draftpick or something.

Also if ppl missed it, in the first intermission did Boyes pretty much said he wanted to resign here.
