Devs3cups Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Damn, a 2nd rounder is a pretty solid return. Thanks to Boyle for his service. One of the nicest guys in the league, his story is also incredible. Good continuation to him. He must be ecstatic about going to a contender. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) No complaints...Devils clearly aren't trying to make anything happen to improve the team in 2018-19 (not really implying that they should...don't think there was any in-season move to be made that was going to drastically improve the fortunes of this year's team), and there's guys who are now very much expendable. A second-rounder is a very nice return...get the feeling Shero will package that with another pick or two (in the offseason) to get a solid player for seemingly "nothing". Hopefully he has better luck than he's recently had with that kind of move (MoJo, Mueller, etc).

Nicomo Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Good for him. Would love to bring him back if they don’t re-sign him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty vocal about loving Boyle the person and hating Boyle the player. This makes be extremely happy. Really don't know what else you expected out of a 4th liner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLinfante Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sad to see him go because he's been great, but that's an awesome return. Not to mention (ugh, tampering) that he may very well return as he is UFA on July 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Pretty damn happy about this return. Now get us a 2nd+ for Mojo, Shero. 17 minutes ago, HellOnICE said: Love Brian Boyle! I hope we resign him, cuz why not. Good luck to him, Go win the CUp! I wonder if that was discussed prior to the trade - his family, doctors, etc. are all located here. Would be surprised if he uproots his family to move somewhere else full time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Great deal... Like I said in the other thread I like Brian Boyle the person but I don't like and have never liked Brian Boyle the hockey player. A guy his size who barely ever uses it and gets pushed off the puck way too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He overperformed the entire time he was here, and did so while overcoming cancer. If you don't see that, you have no fvcking idea what you are talking about.

He was a - 9 last year when the team didn't suck. 4th on an awful team with 13 goals when he's getting more ice time then he should be is whatever. The PK as a unit has been great and he was good at faceoffs. Still avoids contact the majority of the time and gets knocked off the puck way too easily. I'm not saying he underperformed when he was here. I never liked him to begin with and seeing him for 1.5 seasons didn't change my mind.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Really sad to see him go, when we picked him up I hated the move, but he has done all he has been asked of and more under some terrible circumstances. He also comes across as a great guy and a great team guy. He will be a big miss for the rest of the year, he's 4th on the team I goals. Although that might say a bit more about the state of this team than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't want that guy?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, that really wasn't meant to sound as much of a dig at him as it was more my surprise and how unexpected it is that he is putting up those numbers.

Steadevils Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 1. Boyle was a great Devil on and especially off the ice. Would not be surprised to see him back here next year. 2. I'd call up mcleod and just give him 4th line center duties for the rest of the season. 3. I think it really might be a good year for sellers especially cause every team in the western conference is in the playoff race..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
