I don't think Coyle is dramatically faster than Koivu. I don't think he's got the hands of Koivu and to be seen about the hockey IQ but he's already got a better shot. He'd be very similar at the center position, which given what we've seen from Koivu, not sure is what we want.
Koivu ~ 15-20 goals 65-70 points
Coyle ~ 20-25 goals 55-60 points
Or at wing ~ 25-30 goals 50-55 points
I just think though Granlund and Coyle could be a real nice pairing out there.
Maybe something like:
Granlund - Koivu - Coyle
Parise - Cullen - Pominville
Would be superb. Or if GMCF could get Weiss or Filppula to put on the first line. That way you could roll 3 lines that bring scoring threat.
Weiss/Filppula/Granlund-Koivu-Coyle
Parise-Cullen-Pomiville
Zucker-Mitchell/Brodz(?)-Seto(?)
