No one can say that Charlie Coyle hasn’t lived up to some pretty lofty expectations over the last few years in Minnesota. But like the Nino trade, this one hurts from a fan favorite perspective. Charlie, by all reports and shown in various ways, is a great guy. Best of luck in Beantown.
Personally, there are a couple moments I’ll always remember, and ones I feel are worth looking back at as Coyle heads out to Boston.
Charlie Moment #1: The shift against Vancouver
It was shifts like this that made fans (like myself) think that Coyle’s future in a Wild uniform would be pretty bright.
