Yes.
While I can see where you are coming from with your comments about Heineman, I mean we don't really know how his career will end up with certainty.
My argument is Coleman takes up valuable cap space and a roster spot where we can roll the dice on emerging players to see how they look above the AHL for longer than a few games. Players like Heineman. For Coleman I view his leadership and mentorship as redundant, and there are other ways to reach the cap floor.
