The newly acquired Toronto Maple Leafs forward leads the league in active playoff experience with 100 playoff games played. He will add depth down the middle, good for the penalty kill and is a versatile player at 6 foot 6 inches. He is known to play a physical game and can add some points here and there but he’s not known for his offensive prowess.
The Leafs seem to be buyers this year as they believe Boyle’s playoff experience will help them down the stretch and also that he delivers some depth for the club in the postseason if they make the cut.
