Dan Boyle to Rangers 2/9m

[Disturbed]

A little high in $$$ but better than Fayne

Thornton next

This seemed to be our # 1 target. I can live with 4.5 per. Would have liked 4 per, but while I liked Fayne, I would rather have Boyle for 1 mill more and for two less years.

Finally we have a PP QB and a shot from the BL. Him and McDonagh will be a nice PP duo on the BL.

 

[theProdigy223]

PP will definitely get a boost, but this board will be ALL over him for his play in his own zone.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

too bad we got this PP QB at 38

 

[theProdigy223]

The PK took a hit as well, looks like Stralman's minutes there will go to Klein

 

[chuckd3534]

Agreed Prod. Just seemed like the way we were going to go was Boyle. He seemed to be our # 1 D target. I guess they saw Richards gone, we need a PP QB, and we haven't had a dman with a shot in a long time. Decided to fix that.

Where is our size on D though. That will be an issue.

Staal and Boyle # 2 D pair I guess.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

i dont really see size as an issue with the Rangers D corps. Sure they played like shyt against the Kings but Klein is always moveable

 

[Disturbed]

I like the Boyle signing. He actually fills a big need here. Yes he is old but if he was 30 he would cost $6.5m a year

 

[Ranger71]

Nice move for a few years, the pp really needs this.

 

[NYR31]

Solid move and the 2yr deal makes him an easy trading asset if needed.

 

[chuckd3534]

Also means we are putting a lot of faith in Klein to play a pretty strong role on D. I think Sather and AV believe he can play top 4 minutes as well.

Dan Boyle left a lot of money on the table elsewhere, really wanted to be with Rangers

Remember when the Kings offered more money for Brad Richards? LOL

 

[chuckd3534]

Funny.

I think the Boyle and Ehrhoff signings look solid. At 4.5 per not terrible for Boyle, even if I would have liked 4 per better.

Love hearing that! Pretty happy with this signing, needed a pp commander, hopefully he will show ryan a thing or two on how to have yourself ready for a pass to shoot off it

 

[Disturbed]

Good point Al - Boyle can help all our Dmen

I like that PP point duo. We SHOULD have a good PP now with Kreider in front.

 

[Disturbed]

Detroit offered Boyle 2/10 too

The only bad thing is Sather gave him a NTC

 

[chuckd3534]

So 1 mill less with a NTC. I don't mind the NTC really. Only two years. How much damage can he cause cap wise.

 

[Disturbed]

I really like it too Chuck

Hopefully Boyle isn't Sandis Bozolinch or Bryan McCabe Part III

 

[chuckd3534]

Yeah, that wouldn't be good.

In other news we are playing with no forwards next season. Just dmen and Hank.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

where is Immomen...cant we recall him....sorry..just had to

The Rangers have signed Dan Boyle to a TWO-YEAR deal worth $4.5 million per year. (Larry Brooks)

Boyle got a no-move clause from the Rangers. (Elliotte Friedman)
Boyle reportedly left a lot of money on the table to sign with the Rangers. (Brooks)

Pierre McGurie said on TSN that Boyle will replace Stralman, will run the PP, take some pressure off of Ryan McDonagh, pair with Marc Staal and add more credibility and leadership to the locker room.

“Boyle plays with a chip on his shoulder every night and going to NY is no problem.” (Ray Ferraro)

Boyle left a lot of money on the table to join Marty St. Louis. (Pierre LeBrun on TSN)

 

[chuckd3534]

I like the left a lot of money on the table comment. I also think the NTC shows that. Like he gave us a discount, but would only do it for us, so add a NTC.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

perhaps he will hit Nash in the head to straighten him out

 

[chuckd3534]

Boyle reportedly was offered a three-year deal by the Red Wings worth $12.5 million. (Ansar Khan)

Other reports indicate that Boyle was offered two-years and $10 million from the Red Wings. (FreeP)

Boyle reportedly turned down two different offers from the Islanders, two-years at $5.5 million per year and three-years at $5 million per year. (Cyrgalis)

The Sabres reportedly offered Boyle a “blank check.” (NY Post)

Boyle’s agent said that he told teams during the interview process that if the Rangers made an offer the decision wouldn’t come down to money. He says that Boyle always wanted to play for the Rangers and looks forward to re-joining his old teammate Marty St. Louis. (NY Post)

 

[Ranger71]

Great for us, a guy who can still play 20 min and help the pp. I liked Stralman alot but this could be more useful.

 

[Pastafazul]

typical signing!! cause they can't get a young gun here, and they don't have any faith in the farm! thats are rangers!!!!!
