Dan Boyle –

Old man Boyle makes the list of the top 5 worst free agent signings since 2010. Dan Boyle signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the New York Rangers on July 1, 2014. The New York Rangers didn’t bring in the Dan Boyle in his prime playing for the San Jose Sharks. They signed the 38-year-old, Dan Boyle who probably should’ve hung up the skates after his tenure with the Sharks.

During his two seasons with the Rangers, Boyle played in 139 games and scored 19 goals and tallied 25 assists as well. Boyle hung up the skates after his contract with the Rangers ended. It’s interesting to think about who else the Rangers could’ve signed that off-season. The Rangers could’ve had a little over $13 million to play with if they hadn’t signed Boyle and Glass that summer.
