Coleman’s at their salary are fine to have when you have multiple players punching above their weight class with sweetheart deals or ELC’s. The flames have sweetheart deals like Lindholm, Toffoli, Andersson, Hanifin that are almost all of expiring soon (3 in the next year) so Coleman becomes a bit of a problem with his cap hit and middle 6 production. Especially now that the team has some massive overpays in the form of Kadri and Hubderdeau who will be unlikely to ever live up to their current cap hits.
I think the Kadris and Huberdeaus would both be better if each of them had a Coleman on their line.

Coleman is 140th in forward salary and 95th in five on five points.

If you could have three of them, you fit them in.
