Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets by the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. Colorado received forward Gavin Brindley, a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft (No. 77), and a conditional second-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft for the forwards.

Colorado traded for Coyle just before the trade deadline last season in a deal that sent Casey Mittelstadt, prospect William Zellers and a 2025 second-round pick to the Boston Bruins. Coyle slotted in as the club’s No. 3 center for the stretch run and opening-round playoff series loss to the Dallas Stars.
