Just seems like if you don’t need the cap space, Coleman still wants to be here, or the return on a trade isn’t exciting, then of all people on the team setting a culture for our youngsters to learn from, Coleman is at the top of my list for them to learn off of.

What does your lineup look like up-front?
Huberdeau - Kadri - Klapka
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
Sharangovich - Frost - Farabee
Lomberg - Zary - Pospisil
That's 11 top 9 forwards. Unless you see Klapka, and Pospisil as 4th liners.
--- Might need a spot within 2 years:
Kerins, Morton, Honzek, Stromgren, Suniev
3 years: Gridin, Basha, Battaglia, Misa(?).
That's without adding anyone or re-signing any of the Flames UFAs in Mantha, Kirkland, or Rooney.
The way I see it 2 of Coleman, Sharangovich, Farabee, Pospisil, and Klapka will need to move on within a year. That's why Coleman seems like the easiest choice because of his age.
