Blue Jackets Should Consider Trading Veteran Charlie Coyle Before 2026 Deadline
The Columbus Blue Jackets are enjoying a strong recent performance under new coach Rick Bowness, putting them in playoff contention. However, the team faces a decision about whether to pursue a playoff spot or focus on future asset management.
Veteran forward Charlie Coyle has been a significant offensive contributor this season, but at 33 and with his contract expiring, he presents a prime trade opportunity for the Blue Jackets to gain value before he potentially leaves in free agency.
