Guys like Coleman, Kuzmenko, Mantha should be on their way out this season.
Same goes with the defense.

That's too simplified.
You have to weight the impact of losing say Pelletier along with the probability vs the loss in asset value of trading any of the veterans you listed prematurely.
If moving say Mantha now turns his return into a 5th round pick vs a 2nd at the deadline, perhaps that's of greater value than the 35% chance of losing Pelletier on waivers (guess on percentage) coupled with the chance that he rebounds with more time.
