Hearing #CBJ<\/a> parted with two draft picks \u2013 not first-round picks \u2013 and a prospect for Coyle.<\/p>\n Still awaiting details as the players involved in the trade have not yet been notified as of a few minutes ago.<\/p>\n \u2014 Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) June 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Coyle, 33, is in the final year of a contract paying him $5.25 million. He was acquiring by the Avs at the March 7 trade deadline in a deal that sent Casey Mittelstadt, prospect Will Zellers and a second-round draft pick to Boston.<\/p>\n Coyle finished the regular season strong after a slow offensive start with the Avs. He had two goals and 13 points in 19 regular-season games before scoring just one goal in a seven-game series loss to the Dallas Stars.<\/p>\n The Avs locked up Brock Nelson for $7.5 million earlier in the month to center the second line, and Coyle\u2019s salary was likely too much of a luxury. Before the trade, Colorado had just $1.2 million in available cap space and still had a handful of spots that needed to be filled.<\/p>\n With Nelson and eventually John Tavares both signing before the first day of free agency, a weak center market become even weaker. Coyle, who is a strong middle-six center, likely became an asset that the Avs could cash in on.<\/p>\n More to come.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
