The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Thursday that the hockey club has signed forward Darryl Boyce to a one year contract.

Boyce, 27, played in 46 games for the Maple Leafs in 2010-11 and collected five goals and eight assists with 33 penalty minutes. His plus/minus mark (+8) was second on the team. He was an ?even or plus? in 36 of the 46 games played this past season.

Boyce's new deal with the Leafs is two-way. He'll get $700,000 in the NHL and $105,000 in the minors.

I don't mind this signing. Just get that "good sized prototypical 4th line center that is good at faceoffs" Loiselle suggested so that Boyce is depth and i'll be happier.
 
A forgettable player but I like him.  I actually thought he was pretty effective last year, and a heck of a lot more stable defensively than some of the garbage on the team last year with Crabb in the bottom 6.
 
I'm glad he'll be back next season.  He seems like a hard working grinder & checker who knows his role.  As someone else already mentioned, he really won me over with how he handled the whole "getting his nose half ripped off" thing.  I've got a feeling he'll either be the 13th forward, or slide over to the wing on the fourth line because between him & Zigomanis, Zigomanis is the better faceoff man.

So apparently Darryl Boyce is now the longest serving Leaf?  That's very scary.

How so?  It doesn't really mean anything...

He played 1 game for the Leafs in 2007-2008, so before anyone else on the current roster.  Sure it doesn't mean much other than to show just how much the roster has been turned over in the last 4 years.

105k in the A, 700k with the Leafs. Easy to accept that for depth.

49 Gross tally when Schenn re-signed.

Some of those won't count (juniors, LTIR). Worst case is that they're at 46 net to start the season I'd say (Lombadri LTIR, Crescenzi & McKegg in junior)

When you said it was "very scary", I thought you meant that like it was a bad thing.  Personally, I think it's a good sign that Burke has completely revamped the roster to his liking.
