Coyle just signed a deal that will start when he is 28 and take him through to age 34. When will General Managers learn. /shakes head/

This is true Axe. LOL.
I do not like the term on this one. I know that sometimes you have to overpay or over-term to get a player signed, however, the risk involved outweighs the reward. These contracts to mid-level players are the ones that put GMs whose teams are successful in the now, in difficult places later. These are some comparable players (contracts) to the one the Bruins just gave Coyle.
Backlund, Mikael
Gourde, Yanni
Turris, Kyle
Foligno, Nick
Anisimov, Artem
Berglund, Patrik
Nelson, Brock

I admit to cherry-picking the data a bit, but the point I'm trying to make is the Bruins are likely going to be holding a contract that they wish they hadn't handed out. I'm going to bookmark this and come back in 2023 and see how this contract and my take look then.

Coyle's a middle six guy, a third liner right now for them. If he can stick on the second line, maybe that contract ends up okay, but I'm unsure of that.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
How do you define 3rd liner? Looking at the Bruins stats, he's 5th among forwards in time on ice per game while being 3rd in total minutes played. He's also 4th on the team in even strength time on ice. That seems quite a bit more valuable than a "3rd liner".
Is the contract longer than the Bruins would have liked to give? Probably. Would they rather have a problem in 5 or 6 years than have a problem next year? Definitely. They would not have been able to find a replacement for what Coyle brings to their lineup for less than what they are paying him for the next few seasons so locking him for 6 years made a lot of sense.
I can't say the same thing about Chris Wagner as 4th liners are a dime a dozen.
5.5M will be nothing when Coyle is 34. It’ll be like an above average 3rd liner.
