9. Dan Boyle- New York Rangers

After being traded by the Sharks to the New York Islanders for a 5th round draft pick, Dan Boyle wound up signing with the Islanders next door neighbor instead. The Rangers will get exactly what they paid for in Dan Boyle, a hard working offensive defenseman who will really help their power play. Some say Boyle’s age will detract from his play on the ice, but he should be a great fit in Alain Vigneault’s system and he still has it in him to play a lot of minutes when he’s needed. Most of Boyle’s offensive production will likely come on the power play this year, and the Rangers should expect at least 40 points from him in 2014-2015.
