I like Coleman a lot and considering he's only played 5 pro seasons I feel like he should have lots of tread left, but 6 years is pretty gross at first glance and that last year feels like a buyout waiting to happen. Price you have to pay maybe.
My hope for a best case scenario is that if he plays RW well, he see a lot of ice with Calgary and his production takes a jump. he produced well in tampa considering he was on a line with Goodrow and Johnson and pretty buried.
Adding him, Zadorov, Pitlick, re-signing Ritchie... the flames are going to be a big strong team this year though that's for sure, don't see anybody pushing them around.
