As the Boston Bruins gear up for the 2023-24 season, they'll be missing the retired duo of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. With their absence, the spotlight now turns to the team's remaining centers, who have a chance to move up in the ranks.
One player who's eyeing a bigger role is Charlie Coyle. He's widely seen as the likely No. 2 center for the 2023-24 Boston Bruins. Coyle, who stands tall at 6 feet 3 inches, had a solid season last year, with 16 goals and 29 assists in 82 games. It's one of his best seasons since his standout performance back in 2016-17 with the Minnesota Wild when he scored 18 goals and had 38 assists.
