For the first 2 seasons of his contract he performed for what he was paid for
However it’s the next 4 years that’s the bigger issue . For the contract (most likely) the Flames needed him to perform at a better rate for the first 3 years (when it was suppose to be our window) and accept his later contract years will get worst
I don’t mind Coleman . He’s solid . He takes dumb penalties at times , but gets hot occasionally and very seldom is invisible or the problem
However , he is the type of player that championship teams have at a discount and let someone else pay for their post apex years at a premium / market rate
I would love as many Coleman’s as you would give me at 2.5 million . At his contract , he just doesn’t bring enough for a team in cap hell and i predict the next 4 years looks worse then the first 2
