And let’s be honest, it never works like you’re describing. Sign an equivalent or better player for cheaper money and then trade the older more expensive guy for a return.

Fair. If Debrusk is better, why wouldn't whoever you were talking to about Coleman just sign Debrusk instead themselves.
Now in reality, Coleman is a different player altogether and maybe better at the end of the day. And obviously useful to a contender - he's proven that.
Debrusk I see as a guy who fans might like and would be a stopgap "name" player while the Flames rebuild.
