Wild coach Mike Yeo said Coyle would open training camp as a center, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coyle is the leading candidate to pivot Minnesota's third line, with Nino Niederreiter and Justin Fontaine expected to join him at either wing. The 23-year-old has tallied 30 and 35 points in each of his full two seasons in Minnesota, but he'll likely need to find himself in a top-six role before a more notable breakout comes to fruition.
