Sorry that must be another idiot with same name...??
Lol since when does C. Coyle play C in boston.
He maybe their 3rd line center, but he pulls more mins at 2nd line winger. ( which he really is not, thus the NEED for Kreider) Just to educate you on the Bruins.
Thanks for that, i watch almost every bruins game, and guess what Coyle spends the VAST majority of this time doing...playing third line center. There have been the odd game or two here and there where he’s jumped up on the wing, but he’s spent, I would guess about 95% of his time at center. Although there was a weird experiment where they tried to get Backes going by giving him some shifts at center. Needless to say, it didn’t work.
I would still like you to show me where I said Kreider sucked, but don’t spend too much time on it, because you’re going to come up empty.
Kreider is a good player, and the bruins would love to have him, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to overpay. Sweeney wouldn’t even discuss trading Studnicka for Mark Stone last year, so I’m pretty skeptical that he would consider it for Kreider, given that Kreider is a far inferior player to stone.
As long as we’re throwing around phrases like, “educate yourself,” I’d suggest taking a look at the long term needs of the bruins, and their prospect pool, and then target someone else. And yes, Coyle is a center.
