Charlie Coyle: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 20 G, 38 A, 58 PTS, +3 +/-, 18:06 TOI. WAR 0.7 (199th of 615) · PAL 66, above average.
In 2025-26, Charlie Coyle, 34, posts a PAL Rating of 66 out of 100 (above average), and his WAR of 0.7 ranks 199th among 615 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: discipline (96, among the best in the league), offense (76, well above average) and power play (67, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (7, among the weakest in the league) holds him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalties (+2.5); his biggest cost: finishing (-2.8).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 27 in 2024-25 to 66; his WAR, though, went from 0.8 to 0.7.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 52 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Charlie Coyle's story
Growing up in Weymouth, Massachusetts, Charlie Coyle developed his game in local high school programs and junior clubs before stepping into higher levels of competition. After time with Weymouth High and Thayer Academy, he moved to junior hockey with the South Shore Kings in the EJHL, where he posted 63 points in 42 games in 2009–10.
Coyle committed to Boston University for the 2010–11 season and recorded 26 points in 37 regular-season games as a Terrier before leaving collegiate hockey in December 2011 to join the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL; the Sea Dogs captured the President’s Cup in 2012. He was selected in the first round, 28th overall, by the San Jose Sharks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and was later traded to the Minnesota Wild in June 2011 as part of a multi-player deal.
He began his professional career with the Houston Aeros in the AHL and made his NHL debut with Minnesota on February 4, 2013. Coyle scored his first NHL goal on February 23, 2013 versus the Calgary Flames and earned a reputation for physical play and reliability. The 2015–16 campaign marked a personal high when he finished second on the Wild in goals behind Zach Parise. A broken leg early in 2017–18 interrupted a streak of 316 consecutive games, though he returned to the lineup later that season.
On February 20, 2019, Coyle was traded to the Boston Bruins, where he found postseason form in 2019 with nine goals and 16 points in 24 playoff games as the Bruins reached the Stanley Cup Final. Subsequent trades sent him to the Colorado Avalanche on March 7, 2025, and to the Columbus Blue Jackets on June 27, 2025. He reached the 1,000-game milestone on January 22, 2026 and signed a six-year extension with Columbus on May 12, 2026.
On the ice, Coyle is a versatile forward: a centre who blends physicality, defensive responsibility and secondary scoring. He can anchor checking lines, win draws and chip in offensively, making him a steady presence in a variety of matchups. He is also related to former NHL players Tony Amonte and Bobby Sheehan.
