Fair enough they are both bad contracts but with 900k or even up to 1.75 million retention I think it's a deal that can be dealt especially considering his contract can be bought out quite easily by the last couple years.
Would not trade 1 for 1.
Honestly would not do this if you took Carlo out. OEL is such a negative value.
Coyle is one the most underrated and under appreciated players in the league.
200 foot player. Big. Right shot. Play both center and wing. Plays both special teams. Has become a great PK. Strong as anyone on the puck. Good shooting %. .5ppg from the 3rd line. Wins faceoffs.
Did they pay him to much? 🤷🏻♂️
He was a big need when they traded for him, going into UFA, coming off a 3.2m contract and a 16pt playoff in a pre-covid world. I thought he’d get 4.5. An extra 600k on a team that at the time was in great shape cap wise. Not that big of deal. In todays flat cap world 1m less would have nice. But they would have to pay that to replace him. And i doubt his replacement would be as complete a player. The vast majority of the “bad contract” crowd only judge by a boxscore and Boston fans who think everyone is overpaid after being spoiled with Bergy/Marchy/Pasta contracts.
He’s a key part of the team.
Boston has 5 LHD with term. Zero need for another. Even if he brought value.
I think if it was going to be done something like Carlo/Zacha for Bo/Schenn would be the deal. But i’d imagine Van would want a 1st in any deal. Only way i’d add the 1st into that is if Van added a 2nd +. Doubt i’d do it though.
