Wild coach Mike Yeo thinks Charlie Coyle has it what it takes to play center. "What I like is we all know how good he is from the top of the circles and down, but I think he's a guy that's gained a step and looked quicker and he's showing that he's got the ability to play a big ice game, too, " said Yeo. The Minnesota bench boss added that aspect is a "real important thing for him if he's going to play that center position" because he will have to be comfortable carrying the puck and be able to hand it off to his wingers. Coyle is competing for the team's second-line center spot at training camp.
