Personally, I don't see why we would go after Semin vs Boyes. Point totals have been close over the last few years. Boyes is a couple years older, but if we're talking a 1-year, that makes no difference. By all account Boyes was a good addition for a young FLA squad. He's a right shot. Doesn't have the disciplinary issues that Semin does. Would likely be cheaper.
I say give Boyes 1-year to play on the right side. At best, someone like Poirier beats him out, at worst, you have a capable right-handed veteran forward.
