From Jerome Stockfisch of the Tampa Tribune:
“Like anything in life, there’s two sides to the story,” he told fans after one inquired about the circumstances. “I’m certainly not going to debate that Dan Boyle won a Stanley Cup here. He’s a great hockey player, the best puck-moving defenseman in the league.
“To make our team better, to make it better tomorrow, to make it better in the future, to make it better now, we felt this was a move we had to do. We got four great assets back for him and Brad Lukowich. It makes us a better hockey club.”

Trading Boyle sure doesn’t make the Lightning better now. In the future, it may be a beneficial move; however, if the Lightning is so concerned about the future, why sign Mark Recchi, Gary Roberts and Olaf Kolzig?
