Anyone else fully expecting Oilers fans to latch onto a Hyman > Coleman narrative, particularly if Hyman rides shotgun with their big guns and fumbles his way to 30 goals and 65 points?
Who cares what Oilers fans think. We should be looking at what the league is doing, not north.

Hyman and Oiler fans will be blinded by the diamonds in Coleman’s 2 SC rings.
It seems to me that the Flames will be keeping the Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk line together and that Coleman comes in to solidify the second line with Monahan and Mangiapane.
Having a second line of players that are likely locks for 20 goals is a lot of skill in the top 6. I'm pretty happy with the skill level of the team and I expect this to be a very competitive team this season.
The Coleman, Zadorov, and Pitlick transactions also reflect the identity that the Flames will play. The Flames are going to be very difficult to score on and that is going to result in wins. I don't mind this offseason at all so far.

This signing definitely makes the Flames faster. I think that if he plays on a line with Gaudreau then the Flames have a very fast transition line. It would create a lot more odd man rushes. I think the Flames really need D that would be able to find the likes of Gaudreau/Coleman/Dube with quick/good passes to counter attack with speed.
I have no idea how this contract ages, but it's hard to be too optimistic about the last 2 years on the deal.
Hmmm what happens if you multiply Colemans P/60 by a factor of average nhl team production/ Tampas offensive production? Might be a more accurate number but still won't account for not being surrounded by elite players
Or what happens if we take his 12 minutes of five on five ice time in a deeper Tampa situation and move it up to 17 minutes in Calgary?!

Just admit you know absolutely nothing about Coleman rather than writing out a lengthy post basically implying the same thing.
Coleman has put up excellent results going back to his time in New Jersey.
There's a reason the Lightning traded a 1st AND Nolan Foote (also a 1st) for Coleman, because he was an excellent player with New Jersey, and excellent in his time in Tampa
Oh I’m not denying I knew nothing about him before Tampa. I knew he played in New Jersey but there wasn’t a huge reason for me to take notice of him, right or wrong.

He was stapled to matthews and marner and didn't put up those numbers.
If that's the expectation up north then people are going to be a little disappointed.
20/50 is what you're probably looking at for Hyman.
45 points from Coleman here will probably bring much more value with his other assets.

So why are you defending a completely different statement now? The poor 2nd line production argument didn't work?
I hope they add more offence too, but trying to bring in your dark cloud with statements that aren't accurate won't fly.
Ok I’ll be careful next time. Internet is hard lol
All I meant is Coleman alone is not enough to improve scoring
But if you get passed the bias, I did say I like him
I think he brings the character that few Flames have. Hopefully, Monahan, Gaudreau and Lindholm can pick that up from him. If they do then he is worth it.
Last 3 years or so relative to his caphit is going to be a pita but this team either has to show results now or be torn apart anyways. Might be one of the few additions that makes me want to watch more regularly this season.
