How did the old man do in his first season in New York?
When the Rangers signed UFA Dan Boyle to step into the roster spot of the departed Anton Stralman there were a lot of concerns about what the rapidly aging offensive defenseman could bring to the Rangers. Dan Boyle left money on the table to sign with the Rangers instead of the New York Islanders who acquired his expiring contract from the San Jose Sharks early last June. The Islanders, of course, went on to acquire Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy in two separate deals and the Rangers entered the 2014-15 season with Dan Boyle on their blue line and as the de facto power play quarterback.
