Atleast for me, theres a belief that there is a base floor price you could get for Coleman if you decided to trade him tomorrow.
This month theres been a few winger trades:
Chinakhov for 2nd + 3rd
Marchment for 2nd + 4th
Denault for a 2nd
Coleman is vastly outperforming a all of these guys.
I think its safe to say they could easily get a 2nd+ for him tomorrow.
Personally id take a 2nd + 3rd for him now over not trading him this season (worst case) or waiting and trading him for a late 1st at the deadline (ideal alternative)
The reason being is it most likely translates into moving up a few draft spots too, which is extremely valuable.

That is a fair point of view, never seen someone actually put their fire sale price in a post before. 2nd and 3rd for Coleman would definitely be a fire sale and would also probably move the Flames down a number of notches in the draft order. I suspect at the end of the day that Conroy ends up getting a 1st and a 2nd for Coleman and the draft order is not all that different because of how bunched up the bottom of the standings are. For me the delta on the return for Coleman would be worth more than whatever downward movement there is in the draft, but I also think at the end of the day the difference between making the trade now and in another 15 games is maybe two or three spots in the draft.
