Charlie Coyle signed a six-year extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets worth $36 million, with an average annual value of $6 million. The deal was announced in mid-May 2026 and keeps Coyle in Columbus through the 2031-32 season. This represents a major commitment for the Jackets at the center position after his 58-point season and first year in Columbus.[1][2][5]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact contract language or summarize regional reaction from local outlets in Prague or CZE media, and compare this to recent Center contracts in the NHL.[5][1]
