...to the New York Rangers for a 3rd round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. If you know me, you must also know how upset I am about the trade. The Kings former 1st round draft pick...for a 3rd round pick? I thought he could have been worth way more than that. Boyle has a tremendous upside, and not to mention his size, at a staggering 6'7" he is going to be a monster in the league. If the Kings actually gave him a chance they could see he would be a nice fit as a second line center. They weren't giving him the opportunity to show what he was capable of, mostly putting him on the fourth line with the energy guys and enforcers, only playing a few minutes a game. They also tried to play him on defense, but that wasn't going to work out. Brian is a finesse player! He has good hands, put him to good use on a line with guys that can generate opportunities and he will produce. He was a major contributer when he played (and served as Captain) at Boston College. He has a ton of heart and I think the Rangers are going to love him. I've been following his career closely since he played at BC. I was so beyond excited when the Kings drafted him in 2003, and it saddens me today to find out he's been traded. Best of luck to you in New York, Brian. I know with all my heart that you are going to be the best player you can be, and are going to make the Kings realize and regret what they gave up.
I'm gonna miss him for sure. My favorite Boston boy.
