The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired forwards Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Gavin Brindley and draft picks. Coyle, a two-way player with significant experience, adds size and versatility, while Wood brings speed and energy. Both players are considered high-character additions that fit well into the Blue Jackets' plans.

Coyle, now 33, accumulated 35 points last season, including a solid playoff performance with Colorado. He is under a contract through next season. Wood, at 29, is recognized for his speed and has potential as a third or fourth-line player. Both are seen as key components to help the Blue Jackets push for a playoff spot after narrowly missing out last season.
