I get he's on a great contract...but even then though.
Doesn't it feel like a 1st and a 2nd/3rd should have been enough for Coleman even when taking that contract into consideration. A first and a top prospect is more than Mark Stone got in return (and they had pretty much agreed to extension before that deal was made).
The only players that got a single first round pick last year at the deadline were Hayes, Muzzin, Montour. Muzzin and Montour were also guys that had multiple years left, so not purely a rental.
Good player, I think he fits that roster well, but it was a big over-payment IMO.
