Option B) Kadri Retained, Coleman not retained ( potentially unable to be moved)

Option C) wait to trade either Kadri or Coleman in the summer/ next year, when another retention spot opens up.

Option D) Take back dog #### contracts that will get in the way when this team is trying to be competitive.

Because there is a lot of different pathways, there is going to be a lot of conflicting information.
Also weighing the offers you think you could get for moving Coleman now, Kadri next season, and vice versa.

One retention slot might mean you just move one of them. Who fetches more now by comparison to waiting?
