I’m not necessarily saying he should be, but I’ve always wondered why he’s not even an afterthought in these discussions

First of all Coleman hasn't scored 20 since his time in NJ.
I'm sure Coleman is a part of the leadership group, but Backlund does everything Coleman does but better. Coleman simply doesn't impact the game enough to be considered a captain.
