From Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times:
Oren Koules rolled his eyes when told about the rumor floating around the Lightning. Barry Melrose just chuckled.
The rumor from Canada’s TSN: Defenseman Dan Boyle could be trade bait this summer in order to free up some salary cap space.
Melrose said it was a case of the Canadian media trying to “make” the news, and added, “Danny Boyle is the guy I’m counting on to play 25 minutes a night.”

Boyle is a terrific defenseman. There would be no reason at all to trade him.
He's closing in on his first game since January 13th.
The 2024 2nd rounder is in Winnipeg where he'll spend the rest of the season…
