You didn't watch the Isles then. They were out of the playoffs before Christmas, long before Tavares went down. Vanek didn't bring much - some pretty plays with JT, but he is not a difference maker. And it wouldn't have mattered who was in net because the team defense was the worst in the league due to poor coaching and no player accountability.
I'm not disputing they were out before christmas... I just think with a goalie posting a .910 or better would have kept them competing
I think Boyle is still good defensively too. He's been smarter about how he plays his positioning to counter his slower foot speed that comes with age. So I think he would be a good 2 year signing for NYI. I'd love to see him there.

I think for sure he signs in Long Island. He had a nmc. So unless he just wants to **** with New York and give the sharks a pick, he likely has interest going there

I always figured that since "NMC" kick in on July 1st that they would only end on June 30. But I'll admit that is just an assumption

Why wouldn't Boyle said "Sure, trade me to NYI. Lets see what they have to offer."
I don't see this happening, unless it's all about cash and contract term.
My thoughts are Boyle wants to join a contender if he can.
Don't see this happening. Better chance he plays in ottawa if going east
