He's pretty established, and I think most will still view him as the gritty, PK, "type you need in the playoffs", cup experience guy he is, not all that + offensive threat. All that to say, that feels like a player who's value will be highest when his contract is expiring. I just don't see people wanting multiple years of Coleman necissarily.
Edit: holy smokes I forgot how many more years we have Coleman locked down.

Also worth mentioning Coleman’s leadership skills and his value as a role model for the younger players - hope Conroy isn’t looking at trading him.
