I’m not a Coyle guy persay but I do not see why people hate him. He isn’t over paid. He is paid exactly how he should be paid. He is aging though. I’m glad they have poitras in the pipeline.
I certainly expect more than 13 points in 40 games from a guy making over 5 mill. It’s not even a 30 point pace, that’s 4th line numbers
Looks like a lot to me. I see a few guys that are worth 1-2 mil that can be resigned. Probably end up with 10 mil to spend on a free agent.
He will be 30in a few weeks and carrying a 5.5 mil contract for 4 mor years after this year, total pass.
Not to mention that the cap could be $97 million. They are keeping the cap artificially low with only a 5% increase.
That’s crazy.
I don't get how Coyle needs a #1 center to be a good #3 center. You see teams loading up against Boston's 3rd line when he's centering it or are his minutes up compared to previous years and you see him fatigued?
Fair enough. Wish some of that "not basing my opinion of him on a poor first half of the season on a team that hasn’t met expectations" were spread around more.. .
Would be a start. Sweeney cannot sit on his hands much longer.
