It is noted that Jacques Martin is not clear on what he plans to do with Boynton however it is reported that “As for thoughts that Boynton could be traded or waived, Martin was speaking more long term about Boynton, saying ”he is no different than any of our players who have expiring contracts. We’ll evaluate him at the end of the season, the same as Ville, Zednik, Radek. Those guys.””

HTR believes that Boynton could be one of the many players that is going to be traded before the deadline.
