With older guys - unless they are elite - you just need to build out the contract with the understanding you are going to buy it out at some point.
You can buyout Coleman after this year or next and $3.3M against the cap for the length of it.
Kadri and Weegar are both easy buyout for the last 2-3 years of their deals if needed.
Huberdeau is the one you can't really escape. Markstrom has signing bonuses as well so not a ton of savings there (which is I why I would trade him now if you can).
