Not sure if Treliving would take on Coleman but Coleman at 5.7% of cap and dropping (as a percentage) is a contract that you could trade and get good value back for I think. If the cap goes up by 5 million in each year of his contract that amount looks like
5.7%
5.3%
5%
For what he can bring (veteran leadership, solid on the PK, 20 goals and 20 assists) that is not a contract that is eating up a big chunk of cap room. If the Flames take on a bad contract for a year or two to get a better asset he is even more appealing.
But I agree, I doubt Brad is the guy who gets the deal done. I personally think Coleman would be perfect in Buffalo and depending on how good the young assets were coming back that Skinner would be a fine contract to dump. But if I was Conroy the assets would have to be pretty good because you are basically just eating 3 years and 27 million in cap space with Skinner.
