Now I don't put any stock into this, but I was wondering: would this make sense on a short term deal? If Phaneuf should be traded, this could provide some short-term relief.
Boyle will be 38 next season and his production has already started slipping. He's probably shouldn't be a 1st pairing guy anymore, and he's definitely not a #1 guy. I'm not sure he would provide short-term relief for the Leafs moving Phaneuf, because I'm not confident he can continue to play that much.
My guess is he takes a 1 year deal from a contender and expects 2-3 years from a lesser quality team.
