I guess he can have Smith's number.

If it's not final, I bet Lou isn't happy that it's been leaked, would he pull out?

I've said it before: I really like Brian Boyle as a player. He's a little on the older side, but should still have another couple years of usefulness in him if we decide to re-sign him.

Better not have cost a 1st rounder or anything stupid like that though.

 

[rdowdall]

Well that seems dumb.

Brian Boyle has played 95 playoff games since 2012. The only skater with more in that span is Carl Hagelin with 97.

Would not have guessed that.

I guess you can just hope that nothing legit is going back.

3rd round or less, I'd be okay with.  And that's coming from a guy who's a really wanted Boyle when he was a UFA back in 2014.

If I had to guess, it'll be at least a 2nd rounder. Maybe plus a meh prospect.

 

[herman]

At the very least, this will stop him from scoring on us in March and April.

That seems overly optimistic. Personally I think you're probably involving one of the San Jose picks at a minimum.

I might never have to watch Ben Smith try to play hockey anymore. Hallelujah!

 

[Frank E]

Well, I guess they don't feel Gauthier is ready to go for that spot, and Smith just isn't cutting it for the stretch.

Certainly signals something from management though...

Senility?

Perhaps the price isn't as stiff if the Leafs let Tampa dump one of their mistakes on them.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Froese and a 2nd this year.

;D

Any chance Leivo could be part of the return? With the way Leivo's playing, I was surprised to see Soshnikov slotted back on the 4th line.
