Dan Boyle will not be settling with the Islanders, and New York general manager Garth Snow is set to assess the market for the defenseman's rights.
Acquiring Boyle's rights was a calculated gamble for Snow and the Islanders, who managed to sign goaltender Jaroslav Halak to a long-term deal using similar tactics. Should Boyle indeed not sign with the Islanders, New York will send the San Jose Sharks a fifth-round pick in 2015.
Unfortunately for them, the team is not a fit in Boyle's eyes, and his rights will likely be traded prior to the NHL Draft on June 27.
