Stating Coleman and Kadri are valued pieces that they only need to cash in if they get the offer they want.

If this is the case then you probably shouldn't have traded your best trade piece for a package where the primary assets will be like 18 and 17 years old when the rink opens.
I'm meh on the Andersson trade right now but what happens next is going to dictate a lot of how I feel about it. That was (thankfully) a rebuilding trade, long term assets that aren't going to help for years (Whitecloud aside). Don't make a move like that and say "oh but we still want to be competitive in two years". If we're doing this then don't half measure this thing, Whitecloud should be a Star or whoever by the deadline, Coleman should be back in Tampa, Kadri should be gone as well. And do it now so we're not saying "oh that's not bad value for a rental" this time next year with Coleman.
