Pete Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yeah, it does. We have lots of young guys that might project to the 4th line. Barron. Howden. Lemieux. Richards. Absolutely no interest in Boyle. I have to think that if any of them are any good, Boyle likely wouldn't play. If they can't win a draw, that's what Boyle is there for. Plus you have to account for COVID related games missed. I don't see the harm in having him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yeah, it does. We have lots of young guys that might project to the 4th line. Barron. Howden. Lemieux. Richards. Absolutely no interest in Boyle. Taxi squad. It’s there for a reason. Plus he actually is a 4th liner with a professional pedigree a few of those talents could learn from.

You lost 3 big leaders in that group, bringing in a spare who can also be a leader is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Problem is he?d be a taxi squad guy. He?d be at risk of getting nabbed on waivers and have to move mid season. Not sure any 46 year old 4th liner signs with a non playoff team for that. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I keep forgetting about the Covid situation and how we should keep some depth players for the season. A one year deal, especially this year, for a guy with that kind of experience, and ability to fill a absolute NEED we have at center....I think you guys sold me on Boyle for this year. Plus, Keirik is going to have some "happy dances" up here this year, after some Boyle games....and I'm not missing that!! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Cough*cough*cough Have you seen how low and out of sync the older, veterans players have looked? Now add on another decade. Additionally, the bottom 6 hasnt been underachieving or been much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Do NOT get my hopes up like this! I thought this was going to be "Boyle skating with team for first time...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Cough*cough*cough You can almost hear Bob Sheppard's voice..... "Now warming up in the bullpen.......Number 22......Brian Boyle!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
