I would not be shocked if he has essentially a sophomore slump. I’d also not be surprised if he just carries on like he has, since he’s going to get ice time.

Coleman was 25 for his first full NHL season. His 36 point year was at age 26 playing with Zajac
The guy that he really closely compares to is Glencross. Coleman wore 20 in NJ and will be wearing 20 in Calgary.
Glencross's break through year was his first in Calgary 40 pts in 74 games at age 25
He had peaked at 48 pts at 28 and was out of hockey at 31.
Coleman just finished his 28 year old season.
