You move out veterans when you have younger players that are ready to backfill those positions or you are not willing to pay them more than they are worth to the organization on and off the ice.
Andersson should get traded at the draft based on the assumption that he is going to be looking for more than $7M/year salary.
Coleman should be traded if you believe that we have six other wingers that should be playing top nine roles and his salary is too much to be playing on the fourth line. I think that is the case with the group of young players and Huberdeau that the Flames have right now on the team and that should be ready to take the next step who are on the Wranglers.
