The Wild has agreed to terms with forward Charlie Coyle on a five-year contract extension.“We’re very excited to get Charlie Coyle signed through the 2019-20 season,” said Fletcher. “Charlie’s size, overall skill set, and character give him a chance to emerge as a top power forward in the game and we’re happy he will be doing that in the State of Hockey for years to come.”"I'm really excited to be part of this organization for the next five years, and I know my family is very happy — a lot of people to thank for this over all," Coyle said."There's a lot of young guys to go with the older vets that we have, and they've taken us under their wings," Coyle added. "It's nice to move forward with this group and see the guys like Brodin signing a few weeks ago and to know we have this group going forward, it's really exciting."Coyle, 22 (3/2/92), has collected two points (1-1=2), a plus-3 rating and 10 penalty minutes (PIM) in four games this season with Minnesota.

The native of East Weymouth, Mass., recorded 30 points (12-18=30) in 70 games last season and ranked third on the team in hits. He established career highs in hits, faceoffs won, shots and TOI in a game last season. Coyle registered two goals in 40 seconds in the second period vs. COL (1/11/14) for his first multi-goal game and fastest two goals scored by a Wild player at home.He was acquired from the San Jose Sharks with Devin Setoguchi and a 2011 first-round selection (Zack Phillips) in exchange for Brent Burns and a 2012 second-round selection (Pontus Aberg) on June 24, 2011.
