I get that Boyle has the CPHL ratings but this is fantastic value for the devils I think. McDonagh is a stud, even if the ratings don't reflect that yet.

Pretty impressed with the end assets NJD parlayed Seabrook into.

I think McDonagh is a #1 d-man if hes on a different team.

Seems a bit weird to bring in Boyle when your focus was to bring in young guys (Okposo, Staal, etc.)

Mcdonagh is a stud......#1 d-man on a different team...blah

It's all about winning games now. Boyle is the best player in the deal. Win for Chicago!

I really really like this deal for the Hawks. McDonagh is good but Boyle is a star and Gudbranson should pick it up after his first year.

this is Alex Gudbranson, not Erik Gudbranson

Boyle will be the best rated player in this deal for the next 3-4 years for sure. I think a lot of people are underrating the value of high rated players that can help your team win. A good mix is needed and Boyle brings a lot to a team in the sim.

Well I feel like a dummy; I call it even in that case.
