I agree to a point on Coyle but I don’t think he’s horrible. The contract was a bit rich without a doubt. He had a bad year because his skating was impaired by his knee issue. He has the size and he is a strong skater and he’s very strong on the puck. He’s the type of player that can be very important in the playoffs but he definitely not second line material. www.nhl.com/player/charlie-coyle-8475745Charlie IS, WAS and maybe always a typical 30 pt player..What I will NEVER understand is; WHY is he getting paid even more than Ryan Nugent Hopkins FFS?? Sweeney HAD to be drink or stoned when he signed him for TOO long and WAY way way TOO much.. He hit the 50 pt plateau ONCE in 2016-17 and scored 20 goals ONE SEASON way back in 2015-16 142 games with Bruins, he has a meesly 24 goals 35 assists..For 5.25 million for 6 long years, he needs those numbers in ONE season..See, now I'm pissed again..FU Coyle, give Wagner and Kuraly 5 million each while you're at it Sweeney..They score almost as often as Chocolate Charlie..Hmm Chocolate!! Ok. Good mood again, gonna make me a chocolate fudge Sundae..Anyone else want one???na na na nana!!!!

Charlie Coyle signed the deal of a lifetime to play for his favourite team and his play fell flat why ?
Not all on his nagging injury but it didn’t help .
There is a boatload of Players that sign hefty contracts that fall on there face why ? Trying to live up to the contract only to get back to normal second year in ..
Time will tell but i believe he can deliver 🤷♂️

Time will tell but i believe he can deliver 🤷♂️ Deliver?? OH, I thought you wanted the chocolate Sundae delivered.. To actually be honest, I REALLY hope he improves..I was excited when we first got him and every yr I expect at least 50 pts..But I set the bar too high for a player that only scored 20 once and 50 pts once..Donny HAD to know this and I really cant see Coyle turning down something like a 6 yr 24 million dollar contract to play where he was raised..I'm surprised that contract didnt cost him his job..Seems he dont learn from past mistakes.. Sorry everyone, Im gonna stop crapping on Coyle now..I guess sometimes you want your players to succeed so badly..,,,,,,

During the 2019 playoff run Coyle had 9 goals. Three other people had 9 goals, Marchand, Bergeron and Pasta. That’s some pretty good company to be in and he signed his contract Nov 27 2019. He had a lot of leverage, Donny could have waited until the end of that season but that can be a gamble too.

True there, timing did turn out to be Donny's enemy..I just hope he comes into camp with a vengance.

Suggesting that either of these guys are in line for a 6-7 million x 5 year deal is laughable. Also both are technically LWs, I’m thinking our top two LWs are better that those two. I’d take either for out third line if they take 3.5 million a year.

The Leaf media love to get their click bait out there. Haha and yet it never helps their situation, in all likelihood, they make the Leafs look even worse to the other teams and their fans..Typical Canadian sports media, especially when it comes to hockey.. I tape and watch every Blue Jays game but I notice the media is entirely different..I guess players like Vladdy, Bichette, Hernandez, Robbie Ray, Manoah, etc make it much easier..FINALLY back in Toronto July 30th after being American nomads for 2 years.Sry for using another sport BUT as an example to media difference,,

The last paycheck from NBC has cleared.
“Now it’s time to say something,” Milbury said Thursday on a phone call from the Cape. “I don’t want to end 46 years of a career like this.
“I want to explain the comment from that day. As a player and coach in the league, I’ve been on a lot of road trips and around a lot of guys that are young, fit, well-compensated, have celebrity status, and when they go on the road they play hard and they party hard. And a lot of their attention is on women, and I certainly don’t mean that in a bad way.
“Now I get it, everybody else has other ways to party, but that’s my experience and I stand by it. It’s biology, for [goodness] sake. So sometimes their lust for companionship was a distraction. So I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the comment, but apparently it was to other people. And I got dismissed from my job.
“Excuse me, but I’m not going to be canceled. I refuse to be canceled. The only thing that’s going to cancel me is the grim reaper, and I can see him in the distance, but not yet.
“While I’ve been on this sabbatical, I’ve thought many things. Long walks. There are many social inequities in the United States, and I am glad they are being addressed. Great things. I think we can all agree with that. But it’s become a tsunami of social change and tsunamis are indiscriminate. They’ll wipe out the good and the bad and anything in its way, and I don’t think that’s right. It makes heroes out of people that aren’t heroes, and villains out of people that aren’t villains, and maybe worst of all, a social tsunami is too quick to point a finger and too quick to declare guilt by legacy, and I’m not going to accept that. Just because bad things happened in the past doesn’t mean I’ve got to be guilty for things that happen today. I don’t buy that.
“What if I had said there aren’t any dogs here to distract the players? Or any wives? Or children? Do I have to describe the whole pantheon of the human race in order for it to be politically correct? . . . I didn’t feel like I was offending anybody. Has your wife ever been a distraction in your life? I hope you give me the right [expletive] answer.”
Milbury said he approached NHL commissioner Gary Bettman a few weeks ago.
“I wanted to know if everybody really felt this horribly about it, and he told me he couldn’t remember exactly what I had said,” said Milbury.

Well said by Milbury, love him or not he is dead on about the SJW, woke, and cancel culture bullshit that continues to be allowed to ruin everyone's lives. It has gone so far the other way it is beyond ridiculous.

Hall reflects on 2010 draft: "I remember 30 cameras on Seguin and like seven on me, so I thought he was going No. 1. He goes to Boston, wins a Cup his first year, and it took me eight years to get to the playoffs."
It's fun to think about what could've been.
