I think the points will come for Coleman, but honestly I don't think we can overlook what having an increased focus on "checking" in the bottom 9 of our forward group has done so far this year.

Watching the 4th line play of late you could make a case that Richardson and Lewis have been great pick ups. Most CPer's were livid that we pick these guys up and didn't gift spots to some of our AHL prospects. Patience seems to be an issue with a lot of us
Markstrom was a terrible deal by most last year and all summer but those people who hated that deal are quiet right now.
Coleman played on a team that won back to back cups and because of the postponing of the 19/20 season he played 2 playoffs in a very short period of time and then went to a new team. Offensively he hasn't been great but he has been great defensively. I don't know let's maybe give him 20 more games before we flip out? Players like Coleman usually are streaky and a good 5 game stretch can easily fix the numbers.
The Flames have also played a ton of road games so practice time with the new team has been limited.
