TSN and the Athletic's Pierre LeBrun first reported the trade. Coyle and Miles Wood are going to the Blue Jackets for two picks — a second in 2027 and a third on Saturday — and Gavin Brindley. Colorado gains about $8 million in cap space, which could make them a factor next week.
Coyle, who grew up in Massachusetts and played at Boston University, spent part of seven seasons in Boston. The Bruins acquired him at the trade deadline in 2019 for their run to the Stanley Cup finals.
As part of their roster overhaul in at the trade deadline in March, Boston traded Coyle, Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Trent Frederic and Justin Brazeau to unload salary and get younger.
The Bruins sent Coyle and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Colorado for Casey Mittelstadt, prospect Will Zellers and a 2025 second-round choice in this weekend's draft.

Wisconsin hockey defenseman selected in first round of 2025 NHL draft
#6 IS HEADED TO THE 613 🤩Logan Hensler goes No. 23 to the @Senators!#NHLDraft | #Sens The Ottawa Senators selected Wisconsin men's hockey freshman defenseman Logan Hensler with the No. 23 pick of the 2025 NHL Draft on Friday at L.A. Live's Peacock Arena. With the selection, Hensler becomes the 19th ever UW men's hockey representative to hear his name called in the first round of the NHL draft. "I'm ecstatic," Hensler said after being drafted. "Great organization, and I'm pumped to get started with them. Long journey ahead, but I'm super excited it's with them. It's always been a dream of mine, and to be drafted by Ottawa is amazing. I'm grateful for the opportunity and excited to get started." At 6-foot-2, Hensler registered two goals and 10 assists for 12 total points in 32 appearances as a true freshman. As the fifth-youngest player in college hockey, Hensler's efforts in his sole season under Mike Hastings earned him a spot on the 2024-25 All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Prior to donning the scarlet and white, Henseler suited up for the U.S. National U18 Team in 2023-24 and accumulated four goals and 32 points in 61 games. The Woodbury, Minnesota, native also earned a gold medal while skating for the United States at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa - the city where he will play home games in the NHL. Hensler's first round selection also stretches Wisconsin's streak of at least one player hearing his name called in the NHL draft to 28 years. He, Luke Kunin (2016), Trent Frederic (2016), K'Andre Miller (2018), Alex Turcotte (2019), Cole Caufield (2019), Dylan Holloway (2020), Corson Ceulemans (2021) and Charlie Stramel (2023) are the most recent Badger draftees to go in the first round dating back to 2015. The standout will join a Senators squad that went 45-30-7 during the 2024-25 season, a campaign that ended with a 4-2 first-round series loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The playoff appearance marked the first postseason series for the franchise since the 2016-17 season and the first winning output in nearly a decade.

Mandatory Credit: Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports May 3, 2022; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7) drives to the basket past Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) in the first half during game two of the second round for the 2022 NBA playoffs at TD Garden. Mandatory Credit: Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports With the 2025 NBA season behind us, the trade market has already exploded with big names like Kevin Durant and Jrue Holiday heading to new teams. Here are 5 big-time players who could be next in line to hit the trade block. Check Out: 50 Best NBA players right now 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images The best player left on the trade market by far, trade rumors about the 30-year-old, two-time MVP have been circulating for a while. Given the Milwaukee Bucks' lack of a legitimate young core and recent playoff underperformances, it's becoming increasingly likely that Giannis will want in on a team that's more competitive for a championship push.

Lauri Markkanen – Jazz Credit: Chris Nicoll-Imagn Images The Utah Jazz are rebuilding, and after another disappointing lottery result, they are nowhere near ready to compete for playoff contention. If the Jazz want to offload Markkanen's expensive contract and give the lottery one last try for a top-four pick, they should trade Lauri. 3. Trae Young – Hawks Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Trae Young's contract runs through the 2026 season, and he will be eligible for a contract extension this offseason, but not a supermax extension. If he decides to hold out until free agency, there is a good chance the Atlanta Hawks may trade the 26-year-old star. 4. Jaren Jackson Jr. – Grizzlies Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images Jackson Jr. is in the same situation as Young. With the end of his contract in sight, he could easily sign an extension with the Memphis Grizzlies. But that's only if Jaren wants to stay in Memphis. He just as easily can hold out and force the Grizzlies to trade him.

Jaylen Brown – Celtics Credit: David Butler II-Imagn Images The Boston Celtics have already traded two significant contributors to their 2024 NBA Championship in Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. It would be foolish to think Brown isn't also on the table, as given Boston's immense payroll, two supermax contracts with Brown and Tatum just aren't sustainable.
