Center Brian Boyle was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs by the Tampa Bay Lightning for center Byron Froese and a second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft on Monday.
Boyle, 32, is in the final season of a three-year, $6 million contract with an average annual value of $2 million according to CapFriendly.com. He can become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
He has 22 points (13 goals, nine assists) in 54 games this season, and has won 53.0 percent of his faceoffs.
