Is Tampa Shopping Boyle?

Erik Erlendsson at the Tampa Tribune says...

"We are really going to have to keep a close eye on things right now because word continues to circulate that Dan Boyle is on the block. This doesn’t come as a shock because Boyle was nearly dealt at the trade deadline and the payroll keeps jumping up and up."

Boyle has a no trade clause in his contract and according to reports isn't likely to waive it.

...with all the recent activity by the Lightning, which includes the possibility of signing Brian Rolston, it doesn't look like Boyle fits in anymore.

...the Rangers were very interested in Boyle at the trade deadline, so if he's willing to waive his no trade clause maybe Sather should make a call. However, Boyle's contract is almost $7 million a year for the next six years, which would be a big time hit on our cap space.
