Nik the Trik said:At the very least you have to figure that making a deal like this means that the Islanders will throw a ton of money at him. Playoff teams may be interested but at 38 the difference between offering him a multi-year deal or not could be a legitimately huge factor for a guy who has won just about anything a guy could win.
bustaheims said:That's true. It likely will come down to whether his desire to take another serious run at the Cup is stronger than the desire to pad his bank account a little more. I mean, he's also made a lot of money over the years, as well. Capgeek has his career earnings just north of $54M.

That's probably only 25 million or so after taxes and agent fees. Hard times out there.
CarltonTheBear said:Not a bad move, but I highly doubt Boyle signs with them. Too many playoffs team are going to want to talk to him, so unless it's just going to be all about money he'll test the market.
