Boyle is not worth $2m because he's a 4th line center. The only way playing a 4C as a 2C works is if all 3 other lines are exceptional, like the 2013 Hawks, but that is not the case.

Anisimov has a NMC that kicked in last year and will last until next year when it turns into a L-NTC.
Boyle is worth $2M, his physicality, defensive plays, and face-off abilities make him an amazing depth forward. He's been paid $1.5M-$2M for the past 6 years. That being said, he is not a 2C.
Bolland was an amazing 2C until his injury, he wasn't a result of playing around good players he was the good player.
Hopefully DeBrincat will break out.
I honestly want to trade Toews to Colorado with a pick or two for Duchene, I know it sounds so stupid because of his cap and what you probably value Toews at but I think there's a lot of upside.
I can't see Mike Condon leaving Montreal and not asking for $2.5M+

MIKE CONDON played in Ottawa this year after getting traded from Pittsburgh . I agree boyle is a very good 3c for two million . Duchene is overated and heartless not to mention gutless . If TOEWS were to be traded he would get back more then Duchene without throwing in the picks that being said TOEWS is not a 10.5 million dollar player but thats not his fault its STANBO that offered him that contract.

SORRY ABOUT THE DUCHENE AND TOEWS PART OF MY POST THAT WAS MEANT FOR ANOTHER HAWKS TEAM POST
