With the cap going up, I'm surprised there isn't more interest in Coleman yet. Although, I guess right now, every competing team is terrified about taking on cap and they are having to deal with re-signing the players they have.

This is true. Here are the Flames players by points per 60 minuets played (at least 10 games played):
1. Connor Zary - 2.982
2. Blake Coleman - 2.183
3. A.J. Greer - 2.172
4. Nazem Kadri - 2.128
5. Andrew Mangiapane - 2.119
6. Adam Ruzicka - 2.027
7. Jonathan Huberdeau - 1.969
8. Walker Duehr - 1.955
9. Elias Lindholm - 1.883
10. Yegor Sharangovich - 1.817
11. Rasmus Andersson - 1.599
12. Mackenzie Weegar - 1.576
13. Mikael Backlund - 1.572
14. Martin Pospisil - 1.538
15. Dillon Dube - 1.319
16. Noah Hanifin - 1.203
17. Matthew Coronato - 0.864
18. Christopher Tanev - 0.837
19. Dennis Gilbert - 0.593
And Zary has been on another level compared to everyone else on the team.
