Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo boarded the same flight after trade from Boston

Charlie Coyle’s now-former teammate Brandon Carlo was also traded from Boston and will now be starting his career with the Maple leafs in Toronto. While speaking to the media on Saturday, Coyle shared that he ended up on the same flight with Carlo due to an upcoming game between Colorado and Toronto.

“It's just funny how it works sometimes. He's your teammate, one of your good friends, and the next night, you're playing against them in the corners with them and going at it,” he said. [H/T Yahoo Sports]

“I mean, it kind of helped in a way, when things change like that. His family's home in Boston, my dad was home in Boston, you kind of have that shared change, I guess, going on, and you kind of talk through it together when in the airport and sitting on the same plane together.”

Charlie Coyle mentioned that he felt it was helpful to have someone going through a similar transition. He shared that they talked through the emotions of being traded, which made the situation feel a little easier to process.
