What a trade by Lou Lamoriello.

Boyle brings positional awareness, size, strength, presence, and experience to the team and I think that he delivered in all of those areas.

I really hope the Leafs ink him to a deal because I think he’s good for the team.

However, nothing crazy as I’m just thinking one year or so.

He played well and is a sizeable reason for the Leafs push near the end of the regular season to make the playoffs.
