We talked about Brian Boyle rumors with the Toronto Maple Leafs weeks ago, but now it’s a reality.
Here’s the deal:
Here’s the run down from the rumor post from two weeks ago:
- Rental player
- $2M salary
- Shooting 4.5% over career average, 2.4% over avg with TBL (i.e. outscoring his potential)
- Above average shot suppression
- Defensively sound, offensively challenged
- Drives possession compared to linemates (most common at 5v5 is Valtteri Filppula, who is awful and can barely carry his own hockey gear)
- Possibly only 6’6″ player ever to lose every single fight he’s been in
This is what the Leafs now have.
