I think Coleman 50% retained should bring back a 1st and another piece (especially if the Flames also take a cap dump back). If he is traded next deadline I think he gets a 2nd+3rd

I listened to it just now as well. I really didn't like the argument Francis was making. Saying we don't know what the Flames are, and you have to roll with the punches, and wait and see. Francis is essentially advocating not trading anyone except Andersson, even if your price is met, as long as they continue hovering around a wildcard spot.
Well we know what the Flames aren't:
- The Flames aren't a 0.700 team.
- The Flames aren't a contender.
- The Flames don't have the horses to win a 7 game series against the top teams in the West.
I certainly hope that this organization isn't as reactionary as Francis suggests. If they had a plan to sell, then a streak of good play shouldn't change that if your price is met. I definitely don't want to hear last year's excuse of rewarding the players.
