Cannot believe that Coyle went for so cheap..

Bruins are well runed.

Coyle has scored 20 one time. ONE time
Stop exaggerating on how good he is
Byron is a better player than coyle

So that's why "trades are hard".

 

[Zorba]

Im surprised they even gave a 6th. This guy is awful

 

[Adriatic]

I love these insiders. They announce a trade 3 minutes before the teams confirm the trades like they have some kind of scoop or something.

The trade is pointless if they dont go for a top 6 forward

 

[FloJack]

Good depth move for TO. Add muscle for an eventual first series vs Boston.

He is so bad at hockey though.

As a #7 d-man... OK, but expensive.

Right on.

What does Byron have to do with it?

So Coyle scored 20 goals only once? Nobody said he is a first line player.

Since you bring up Byron, The Bruins already have 5 forwards better than Byron. They added a decent young player for depth before the play offs. And it was fairly cheap to do so. They already have the best line in hockey. They are not looking for "a savior" like the Canadiens are.

Not everyone can just go out and land a Dale Weiss.

I wonder what Byron would get if he was a UFA and we were out of the playoff picture.

Interesting thought even though you'd have think that he's part of the team's plans since they gave him a letter and a long term deal.

Read the original post. What did people think coyle would cost? He’s not a proven 20g guy.
He’s an average 2nd line player at the max

It's still a good trade for the Bruins. Donato had no future there and they didn't give up any good picks. They are more than likely going to get another top 6 forward. The Bruins needed depth and they are getting it.

True...... and Domi had back to back 9 goal seasons when the Habs grabbed him.

Byron was a waver pick up.

Just before play offs Bruins picked up a decent player.

If I actually thought the habs were going to be around to pay the Bruins in the play offs i would not like this deal. But I dont have to care one way or another.

Seems the Bruin fans like it.

Donato will go to Minny to disappear like everyone else who goes there.

Pointless?

We are talking about the Coyle trade. Not the annual Dale Weiss trade.

Didn’t say it wasn’t a good depth trade but let’s not exaggerate and say coyle is some stud
Im Tatar is as good or better than him
Coyle has size. After that he’s just decent

Coyle is ideally on the 3rd line. The Bruins are still a one line team and that won't get you far in the playoffs.

Sure but a lot of 3rd liners go for a 2nd+ and sometimes a 1st. Bruins didnt give up any of that and Coyle has another. It sets them up nicely to go all in on a guy like Panarin or Stone.

Ya we will see if they have the assets to get those guys.

I'm sure they do. It will be a total fail if they dont.

 

[Justin11]

Something tells me the Sens won't get the return that most expect for Duchene and Stone. With Dorion is at the helm and Melnyk by his side micromanaging, all I can say is yikes.

What a time to be a Sens fan.

... If you acquire Charlie Coyle to play on your 2nd line in view of the playoffs, you're either not a playoff team or should've aquired a better player.

If Coyle is slotted on the third line? Awesome.
