Imagine they had to consider two packages of returns:
1) Kadri retained return at the 2026 deadline and Coleman return at some point in 2027.
2) Coleman retained return at 2026 deadline and Kadri return at some point in 2027.
Imagine they suspect that they might get less next year for Coleman individually, but cumulatively would be better value for both Coleman and Kadri over 2 trades.

Since the 2027 returns are completely unknown, and Kadri was the riskier player going forward for a number of reasons, Kadri had to be moved at the 2026 trade deadline.
