(not official)

The 26-year old Coyle was drafted 28th overall in the first round of the 2010 draft by the San Jose Sharks. He carries a $3.2 million cap hit through next season.

The 22-year old Donato was drafted 56th overall in the second round of the 2014 draft by the Bruins. He carries a $900,000 cap hit and a pending RFA.

Michael Russo: “Not sure why, but chance #mnwild #bruins trade won’t be officially announced til around 10 p.m. Maybe because of the Wild’s flight delay”

Some thoughts from the media

Amalie Benjamin: “Honestly, not sure how I feel about the Bruins punting on Donato for a very up-and-down player in Coyle.
