Even going by 5v5 TOI, Coleman was a top 6 forward for the Lightning in both the Regular Season and Playoffs during his time there.
Calling him a 3rd liner when all of his results on a back-to-back Stanley Cup winning team suggests otherwise is a bit of a stretch

His numbers were accrued as a 3rd line player, not as a top line RW like he will be played in Calgary. Apples to oranges so these stats are mostly meaningless.
