Charlie Coyle heading back to his home state of Massachusetts and the Boston Bruins is a story that has been repeated plenty. It’s been a very successful trade for the team, with the player proving a better fit in Boston than he ever seemingly did in Minnesota.
At the time of the deal, there was some backlash and some upset at giving up on Ryan Donato, but based on his season thus far with the lowly Wild, managing just 3 points through 15 games; safe to say, we’re not missing him all that much.
While Coyle hasn’t been perfect or in the absolute best form yet this season, his performances in the play-offs last year more than make up for it.
