Player evaluation: Boyle (inside the Kings)

[lesgardiens]

BRIAN BOYLE

This season: 8 games, 4 goals, 1 assist, plus-4 rating.

Positives: It's hard to argue with the raw numbers. Four goals in eight games is nothing to sneeze at, and Boyle showed, at least in a limited tryout, that he has the skill to play at the NHL level. His size should make him a valuable asset going forward, particularly at the center position.

He'd better make the team next year.

[Mr. Irreverent]

Hopefully his knee ain't broke.
