Yes, Boyle is a great player. But Camploli would have been in the igh-30s/40 last season. This season he is capable of 40. <BR/><BR/>3. Then you give Okposo, who might be good for, well lets say safely 15, though I think he's capable of 20 on the right line. That is already Boyle's stats on a more offensively gifted team. <BR/><BR/>Chasing Boyle, to be honest, didn't make a lot of sense in two key areas: fiscal responsibility and cost of trade. The Isles, wouldn't have gotten much better. Nor would the marquee loss of Okposo, who is no blue chip explosion, just s solid prospect....have been palatable by the already not-quite-thrilled Isles fanbase.<BR/><BR/>The Isles with a 1st round and 3 2nd round picks next season, might have done best to stand pat. For they might not get the top spots...but have the means to get there if they feel is worth it for the the top two of next seasons draft.B.D.

Or will these guys be marginally good enough to compete for that 8th playoff spot and miss, or the just as bad 4-1 exit in the first round?<BR/><BR/>In short, are we Taveras bound?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
