TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Not to let this thread get off topic too much (though Gordon isn't much of a topic ), yea, Boyd is basically just a body out there. I looked him up...former first rounder too. 2002 was taken 17th overall by the Caps. Never broke 10 goals and only reached 20 pts ONCE in his entire NHL career that spans over 700 games. At 33 yrs old, he is what he is. Prime example of 1st round bust. Still though, teams need 4th liners right? Yep...though, like @Samifan said, no value added to the team.....but then, looking back at his career, not sure much value was ever added no matter what team he was on. Great numbers in the WHL, decent ones in the AHL, basically nada in the NHL. Not even a bunch of PIMs to at least show some grit out there. Boyd is Boyd. Nothing more, nothing less. His biggest upside is, he only makes 950K and he will be a UFA at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like I said, former first round pick. Obviously there was SOMETHING about the guy that caught the Caps' eyes when they drafted him. He isn't "old" yet at 33, and teams apparently keep hoping he 'figures out' what made him a very good WHL player. Sadly, at 33, though not old, there usually isn't much more room for improvement. Guys are usually what they are at that age, barring a few exceptions in the league's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakanekimiwa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Um.. not to throw shade on someone's bluster of outrage but uhh.. he was out for what? like a month? does take some time to get back to speed. And one does need to realize that he is here to win some face offs and take that burden off our captain. A value who's measure certainly is hard to quantify. I guess, all of this is to say... if we're complaining about Boyd, things are pretty good in Flyerland right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't the best skater and he wasn't the most skilled player but he always came out of the corner with the puck. Go easy on the Boyds of the word I say. How are you @Bakanekimiwa?

Bakanekimiwa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hey Podes... doin well.. just not involved in the hockey board dialogue of late. Figured I'd take a break from the world of politics, though, and join in again here. Things are much better in Flyerland these days. Been a joy to watch these guys play lately. Really happy to see the plan Hexy has been putting in place seems to be working out. What's new around here? doesn't seem to be any different from when I was last here... KK still complaining about everything lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they react when they lose 4 in a row will be the key. It's good to see you back and posting. Quality member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nobody has 100% predictive power. If that were the case we'd all be Warren Buffett. I guess the brass saw a need they could address inexpensively. Would I have rather seen a youngin brought up from the AHL? Yes. But I am not GM. Actually, it's Weise I wonder about. That is a four year commitment. I haven't seen much from that "investment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
