Minnesota Wild: Charlie Coyle headed to Boston for Ryan Donato

We correctly predicted earlier in the day that the Boston Bruins were in for Charlie Coyle, with Ryan Donato even mentioned as a potential option to join up with the Minnesota Wild.

The deal ends Charlie Coyle’s stint with the Minnesota Wild and he’s been a valiant foot soldier the whole time, offering a steadying and consistent presence and averaging thirty to forty points a year for the side.

Ultimately though, his low cap hit combined with his size and of course that consistent point production made him a very solid option to be traded and it was always bound to happen this season with new Minnesota Wild General Manager Paul Fenton wanted to remove pieces brought in by previous regimes.
