2013-14 New York Rangers Breakup Day

[Xref]

He may as well have said "show me the money"

Goodbye Anton.

Sounds to me that he's most concerned about term. He knows that he'll get the right $ from the Rangers.

 

[haveandare]

That's not what he said. He said it's not the end of the world if it doesn't get done in the offseason. In other words, he's okay negotiating in season.

And I can exhale now...

huge difference there.

“@AGrossRecord: Boyle is going to look for a bigger role when he hits free agency. AV told him today he'd continue in current role next year here.”

Goodbye Anton.

I disagree... I think he just wants a longer term contract or a NTC, NMC, something like that.

whelp looks like it becomes more important to resign Moore

 

[Raspewtin]

I see no way Stralman resigns.

 

[Fitzy]

Based on this, my official predication is that Moore stays, Boyle goes. Not unlike what I expected. We can get Moore for half the price and he does a better job when asked to move up in the lineup.

We do lose a lot of heart and size with Brian Boyle.

Bye-bye Boyle He was SO GOOD here when we finally had a coach who used him the right way. I'm afraid (for Boyle) if he goes somewhere else where he's thrown into more of a role that Torts used him in, he won't really excel.

Still expect him to get a Prust like, or even larger contract on the open market. Good for him.

Boyle you ****ing clown you are a stellar 4th line role player. Just embrace that and come back next year ding dong.

 

[I Eat Crow]

If I was calling the shots I would give him term. However, with Girardi signing a new deal, Klein left with multiple years, and Allen and McIlrath very close, I don't think the Rangers front office would.

 

[Tawnos]

Can't blame Boyle for thinking that way. He's a 3rd liner on most of the teams in the league, but not necessarily most of the good ones.

 

[Trainmman]

“@AGrossRecord: Boyle is going to look for a bigger role when he hits free agency. AV told him today he'd continue in current role next year here.â€

I can't see him getting more than 2.2 in FA.

If he's gone it's a big loss due to the PK reasons.

 

[Hire Sather]

Boyle was one of my favorite players in awhile. Will be a shame to see him go.

Was literally just about to post this.

I'm sure he misses playing 15 minutes+ under Torts.

He will get a stupid contract on the market. A worse player in Boyd Gordon got 3 years at 3 million per.

Seth Rothman ‏@RothmanHockey 18s
Boyle said he'd like more responsibility. "Everyone knows what I think of New York and the Rangers."

Yup. Bye Boyler.

 

[Riverdale]

Looks like Boyle is gone.

Love his heart and he is a perfect 4th liner/PKer.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Boyle you ****ing clown you are a stellar 4th line role player. Just embrace that and come back next year ding dong.

Let him be a clown 3rd liner on another team... no one is gonna give him a bigger role when he has one 21 goal season... and then one 11 goal season... after that the next highest is 6

Goal totals from the NHL

And i do want him to stay I loved the fourth line this year

 

[Ail]

Can't blame Boyle for thinking that way. He's a 3rd liner on most of the teams in the league, but not necessarily most of the good ones.

Exactly. I'd rather be a 4th liner on a contender than a 1st liner on Florida. Getting paid is one thing but trying to be more than what you are as a player is foolish.

 

[Ail]

Hell what do we know though? Maybe Sather said they can't afford him and it was time to move on. Maybe this is his media friendly excuse.

 

[GordonGecko]

Side effect of a deep playoff run is that our free agents are put on tryout exhibition for 29 other teams. Impossible to fly under the radar

 

[Trainmman]

If we lose Stralman, do you think McIlrath could be a viable replacement, or is that playing with fire?

 

[Hire Sather]

It feels like we always lose everyone.

Why is the Bruins 4th line okay with being 4th liners. We have a good 4th liner and he wants to go play more elsewhere.

 

[haveandare]

Boyle you ****ing clown you are a stellar 4th line role player. Just embrace that and come back next year ding dong.

Yup.

Not gonna work out.

Can't really blame him for chasing the money, I guess, since he's never been a big $ player, and he needs to live, may want to support a family down the road if he doesn't already have one, may want to leave his kids in a good place way down the road if he has any. But, damn, I'd love to see him stick around here.

 

[Raspewtin]

Absolutely correct.

Simply playing in the Stanley Cup Finals raises your stock.

I wouldn't be surprised to see all of our FAs leave, and that would be devastating.

That's swimming in an ignited pool of gasoline and lava filled with flesh eating bacteria.
