think you might be right, IMO, it looks alot like how he was shifted around when he was a member of the Wild. I recall when the trade went down, a few fans offered their thoughts on Coyle here and they said one of the biggest problems with Coyle was never really his fault, he kept getting shifted between wing and C and whomever was coaching the Wild never allowed him to settle into one position and stay there and get comfortable.
I understand injuries sometimes play a part in this but right now, the B`s are pretty healthy up front, leave him at 3 C
Butch over thinking things way too much then pushing Kuraly out in OT???? C`mon Butch, you are better than that
