We all know what Setoguchi is. Garbage. He’s an over paid hack that put up good numbers in San Jose only because he had a good line to play on. I hope the Wild trade him ASAP before he sucks all his value away. If no takers, I hope Fletcher uses 1 of the 2 amnesty buy outs and uses his over paid 3.0 million else where. Even if his contract is up after next season. This clown couldn’t even score in the ECHL during the lockout. In that league, he should score more often than a cheap hooker on the corner.

As for Coyle, he is the main piece to the Burns trade (along with Phillips). Should be good to see what he can do in the NHL level.

It will be interesting to see how it all turns out, however Heatley is close to the end of his career, and Seto, while I like him, is an unproven commodity then needed to give up someone with upside to make the deals work.

I knew they would call up Coyle before Zucker. A lot of people calling for Zucker, but I like this move! The Wild need a power forward to play in front of the net and help them get the dirty goals. Not to mention the kid is extremely talented in many facets of the game, including some not too shabby defense. Hopefully they let him take Cullen’s spot on the 2nd line. This could be just what Granlund needs to get going.

I was disappointed when I heard Coyle he got traded, really wish the Sharks could have hung onto this kid. Give ‘em Heatley & Seto, but young talent like this that came up through your farm system needs to be kept wthin the organization.
