Hindsight is 20/20, but it certainly smiles upon the Charlie Coyle trade.

General Manager Don Sweeney exchanged Ryan Donato and a fifth-round pick for the pride of Weymouth, Massachusetts in a deal with the Minnesota Wild in February 2019.

Donato was an offensively gifted prospect at the time, but he ended up eventually dropping to fourth-line minutes for a Wild team who struggled mightily and was flipped last month to the San Jose Sharks.
