Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports: Pierre LeBrun said on TSN 690 radio that the Boston Bruins have kicked tires on Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle.
This shouldn’t be much of surprise since Coyle has some size and play down the middle as well as on the wing.
If acquired, the 26-year old, 6 foot 3 forward could center their third line and would instantly make the Bruins better.
On the flip side, he’s only scored over 20 goals once and over 40 points twice in his five years in the league.
Though he has size, he may not be the right fit beside David Krejci when they are healthy up front.
