IMO the only way they do this is if they get a solid asset in addition to opening a roster spot, for the reasons you mentioned.

It only makes sense for a contender, so picks will be later in the draft. They might be willing to give up a young NHL ready player in order to go for it.

Not common, but it happens.
If they can get a haul or even decent return for Coleman, then I’m very open to trading him. I just think trading him for very little to “solve a middle 6 log jam for the youngsters” is a waste, and that problem could be solved in other ways
