Toffoli was a trade, and the jury is out on Coleman. I personally think he is overpaid and we could get much better value for his salary than a 3rd line, 15 goal scorer. But yes, I agree, he has had some good FA signings alongside the poor.

Tre's biggest weakness has been coaches. I feel the last five years could be summarized as unmet potential (aside from last year and even then we were outcoached against the Oilers)
