There is zero doubt Phillips is a better option than Coleman. So he is the guy I would target. Maybe Rooney could be waived too.
Then if you must you put Phillips where Dube is and slide Dube to fill Coleman’s spot.
Also wasn’t Sutter the one who came in and said this is merit based? No one is entitled to play in the NHL?
Wow- sure doesn’t look like it.

You honestly are walking out waiving Blake Coleman?
Do you want to have a pie in the sky discussion or an actual roster construction conversation? Prized free agent with cup rings and you're walking that out as a target?
One not a good look for attracting future free agents to a western Canadian hockey club.
But the guy is 4th on the team in xGA60 and doing exactly what the coach wants him to do. Would be great if he put up more points, but he's as advertised and doing exactly what the coach wants him doing.
