The Daily News confirmed the Blueshirts have signed Boyle, who turns 38 on July 12, to a two-year, $9 million contract that includes a full no-move clause, during the first hour of free agency. Boyle's agent told the Daily News around 1 p.m. that Boyle "has always wanted to play for the Rangers, throughout his whole career," and that is why he signed despite five other teams offering more money than the Rangers did. Boyle is a 15-year veteran who won the 2004 Stanley Cup as a teammate of Martin St. Louis on the Tampa Bay Lightning, a squad the Rangers have enjoyed revisiting including their hire of John Tortorella as a previous coach and Brad Richards and Ruslan Fedotenko as former New York forwards. Boyle will try to improve New York's power play and bring experience gained while playing for the Florida Panthers, Lightning and most recently the San Jose Sharks during his career. Boyle will not comment on Tuesday because he is in Europe on vacation.
