Just context for those who trot out how 'terrible' the contract is.
As for the players, they are pretty similar in counting stats: JA has had at least a 23g/37p pace for 4 of last 5 seasons. BC's goal scoring is declining a bit as his roles changed, but he looks like he'll be a little under 20g/35pts guy. Big/tough winger vs. a gritty/savvy winger.
And I was wrong in my first post - Coleman is actually 2.5 yrs older.
Obviously if we could trade BC for a 13OA it would be a homerun. Anderson's contract gives you his age 28-33 years; size and goal-scoring are scarce traits. I don't think he's quite worth a 13OA, but it's not far off.
It would be really weird for NYI to acquire yet another winger locked 5M+ for several more years.
