*$4.9m for capable 25 goal guy who plays hard and performs in the PO's is not a massive contract even for a UFA.

*it's a 3rd round pick, not a 1st

I will judge Treliving on what he doesn't do, not these three things
The guy has 71 regular season goals and 10 playoff goals through his entire career. He hasn’t scored more than 22 goals in one season. I believe only one of his seasons pro rated is that of a 25 goal scorer. If Coleman comes here and has a 25G, 50P season that would be great, but you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. It’s not a bad contract in year 1 but I hope it ages well. Like Treliving said(can’t remember when), what kills you in free agency is not the dollar figure but the term.
