Sharks trade Dan Boyle's right to Islanders for a 2015 5th round conditional draft pick. Becomes a 4th rounder if Boyle signs.

Interesting. DW getting a pick out of someone everyone knew was not going to be re-signed. Wonder if we get similar value for Havlat.
Is he still any good?

I'm shocked that the Islanders weren't one of the eight teams Boyle wouldn't accept a trade to. lol
For all we know, he could have waived his NTC (or was it NMC?). After all, what does he care who has his negotiating rights from June 5, 2014 to just before July 1, 2014? Better it anybody other than the team that has said they won't be bringing you back.
To not allow said team to gain an asset off of you when you have the option out of spite.
Take Havlat while you're at it New York
Do we have any reason to think Dan Boyle wants to spite the Sharks? You know what's more important than spite?
Money. If the Isles are gonna offer some ridiculous amount of money now, maybe he wants to listen.
He could've spoken to the Islanders on July 1 and gotten that money anyway...theoretically.
