Engvall is a garbage 3rd line centre

I think they Coyle is intended for that role. That trade is honestly trading garbage for garbage…

I think if you put him in between 2 solid play drivers in Podkolzin and hoglander, he would be okay for next year. If it clearly isn’t working out, you can re Ange the lines pretty easy. Bump up hoglander to the top 6, put coyle as the centre on the third line, And swap motte and engval around. There are ways to make it work, but I think engval is a nice list cost bet for the Canucks.

Coyle and Schmidt are both due for bounce back seasons, imo. I think this is a trade that could end up paying off well for both team

Agreed. It’s also a very even cap trade. I wouldn’t mind seeing this happen because we would finally have a decent 3C. I’m tired of seeing ACGM teams with players like MacEwen or Beagle as the 3C. When I said garbage for garbage, I meant the engvall trade just to clear things up.

I'd rather Coyle than Schmidt.
