I think he’d be a very good fit with Domi-Drouin or KK - hard to find that size + speed combo which becomes more of a factor 2nd half of a season and into the playoffs.
Not sure Habs make good trading partners though - unless MBs willing to deal Poehling back to play at home. I’m not particularly keen on getting rid of a big C who’ll likely turn into a Coyle type player and is some 6-years younger.

Yes, I'm kidding people.
He's 26 and has 1 year left on his $3.2M per contract. You would really trade Poehling for a soon to be UFA? He's not exactly lighting it up. His best year in the league was 2016-17 and he only had .68 points per game (56 points in 82 games).
I don't know if I make that deal, if he doesn't come relatively cheaply I'd pass.

No I wouldn’t deal Poehling for Coyle which is why I don’t think the Habs make good trading partners with Minny.
Yeah, our top 4 sucks. There's a wide gap between our garbage and "stacked."
Not a chance , you can get Coyle as a UFA after next season

Get the Taxi to the front door , Habsy will pay for the cab ride to Minny

Rumor seems to be stemming from Minny beat writer Michael Russo’s tweet of Wild looking for right shot RW who can occasionally play C.
Not sure why they’d trade Coyle since he fits the description of what they’re looking for but anyway...

Minny is in transition . Not good enough to get by a round . A team of decent players but no star upfront .
Not sure they have any interest in paying Coyle as a UFA after next season . Shaw gives them some sandpaper and depth for 3 years at 4 mil
Shaw doesn't move the needle but they will need to get something in return for Coyle . I don't think they want draft picks and projects.

Use my Uber account.
There’s little to no evidence that Coyle is significantly better than Shaw. Coyle seems like an overhyped Boston kid. He’s never impressed me. And Shaw is playing well with D & D.

GMs absolutely love Shaw types.
Coyle had nice upside... still might have some. But yeah, I'm not sure if he's as good as Shaw... I mean they're like the same age.
It’s more that I’m not overly impressed by Coyle.
Shaw is worth more at this point, he’s more productive, brings that grit and like it or not he’s still a two time cup champ that played a vital role in both those cups.
If Shaw keeps playing like he is I think he can get h a nice return at the deadline even at his current contract
