As painful as it is to say, I would probably target Tyson Barrie and pair him with Tanev and have him and Ras run the pp.
As far as wingers, Calgary needs a skilled scoring winger. Blake Coleman is a very good hockey player, but he is a good 3rd liner or very average second line player. I just don’t think he moves the needle enough on the forward group.
It will certainly be interesting over the next week or so to see how things play out.

If they sign Coleman he is a good player, but not the winger required for the top 2 lines.
