No but I'm thinking he makes good trade bait.

What if they lose back to back?
More likely he ends up back home in Detroit than Boston.

His numbers would jump with any PP time he's unlikely to get it, but who knows.
I think he'd look guy playing opposite wing of Brad, but they seem content to let him take advantage of his 3rd line matchups.
If Coyle is your second line center don't waste money on second line wingers. Coyle belongs on a third line.
Frederic in your top 6 odds are u aren't a Cup contender.
I would only sign Joshua 3 years no more than $2.5 M, anything more and could look bad if he does not perform well.
Sure lets keep on getting rid of good players lololol
Freddy is good enough to move up and down your line up, very underrated center.
My bet will be he will better his number next season.
I don't agree with the premise. Look at how Florida sets their lines up. Rodrigues in the top 6 this year. Last year it was Cousins.
It's all about playing your role, and if he can do it every game he'd be fine. I'm cool with him on line 3, he plays that role well, just saying I thought he could work playing with Brad setting him up.
Id like a guy his size and skill in the top 6, you could probably do better I'm sure.

Same with Coyle, Geekie, & Heinen.
Unless the other two line mates are Barkov and Tkachuk caliber players.
I would actually like them to move Frederic for a similar age forward, maybe we add a little for a better player.

Only because of Heinen and Marchand's injury. No idea why we keep doing this. You know those aren't four starters on the opening day 12F Bruins.
Geekie and Heinen I agree with you. Coyle I could see at RW on a 2nd line on Vegas or
Vancouver.
Vancouver.
Under certain low odd circumstances yeah its possible. That's why I said odds are. I didn't say under any circumstances.
Frederic still has to a certain degree an issue playing with pace consistently in the PO.
He had a good series against Toronto but not Florida.
All three of those guys keep us as also rans. two of the three would be healthy scratches on the cup final teams, Coyle would be the fourth line center on Florida
Coyle would be utilized in the Panthers as a 3rd line winger not 4th line center, come on man.

Well, he makes more than a fair point and I for one at that time of those trades loved the moves by Sweeney and when the Jeannot trade went down, I thought it was a terrible/desperate deal! GM's are ultimately judged on how deals turn out and not on how they look at the time and unfortunately for Sweeney and the Bruins those deals didn't turn out so well.
I for one also think Sweeney has improved as a GM but you cant deny or disagree with the truth, unless your just turning a blind eye on the facts.
Come on what? you think third line winger I think fourth line center. You coach your team and I will coach mine, lol
I think Coyle stinks but at least Im keeping him in my line up.

How can you think Coyle stinks? He's an NHLer and a very good one to boot, its not his fault he's been put in a position to play as a Number One, or a Number Two Center without a true number one above him. The guy is a puck possession hound but he needed to be used where he best excels and that's as a third line center and one who has the ability to play up in the line-up when called upon.Come on what? you think third line winger I think fourth line center. You coach your team and I will coach mine, lol

Maybe there.
But for here, if they can develop a lineup where they have a legitimate, effective top 6, Coyle is a great luxury at 3C.
