Brian Boyle to TB. Three years, $2.3M AAV.

Good center for the Lightning.

[sureLoss]

good term and $ for a guy coming off a solid playoff performance

[Atodaso]

Really wanted him on the Flames. Awesome deal.

Yzerman is stealing all of St. Louis' shiny new toys.

[Hackey]

Nice contract.

Yzerman is a great GM. Good contract for a great 4th line player.

[GreenLantern]

Good replacement for Thompson, solid signing.

[Oling_Roachinen]

Disagree with the current sentiment. Overpayment for a 30 year old 15-15, 10 minute a night slow player. He's big but not all that fearsome and now he brings a contender right up to the cap.

Makes the Engelland deal look a bit better, in my opinion.

Correction: Boyle's AAV in TB is $2M, not $2.3M. Bad typing error by me. Regret the inconvenience.
