"It's his defense. He's the guy in charge," McLellan said. "He knows that. Because Brent came in doesn't mean Danny Boyle's going to take a back seat. That's not how it works. The pecking order is well-established, and we'll go from there."
Boyle will continue to man the top defensive pairing as well as the top PP unit. Last season he scored nine goals and 50 points -- his lowest goals forced since he became a Shark. Look for him to bounce back with the aid of another excellent offensive forward.
