The other thing is how the league is moving contract wise.
$4.9M is a lot of money but it's no longer top line cash. I mean Lindholm has the same contract and he's a top line player, but his contract was signed four years ago.
By averages $4.9M is somewhere between forward 4 and 5 on the average team. Coleman fits that pretty well.
Having said that I wouldn't be surprised to see him get points in a few consecutive games soon and end up on a 40 point pace instead of 31.
