I don’t think the return for Coleman is much different at the trade deadline this year versus next year. I think he’s worthy of a first but won’t get you two firsts this year nor would he get you a first and a top tier prospect. There’s no urgency imo unless you desperately want an extra 3rd rounder or someone’s B- prospect.
Ditto Kadri but for different reasons. His contract length is the issue. And the desire to trade him now because otherwise he’ll be worse next year… well, it’s not like that’s a secret to the counterparty. I don’t think his value this year will be materially different than next year. You have diminishing skills vs reduced contract burden/risk. It cancels out imo.
