I have no direct source with the team but I am friends with some former Flames players. Former players talk to current players and it from what I have heard Coleman was healthy enough to come back a while ago but the Flames ask has been met so they held him out. The other team accrues cap space daily in the NHL so it makes more sense to wait considering they weren't going to be playing any games anyway. Him and his family also were said to have had a lot of emotional goodbye's around town as they left for their Texas home before the break. I doubt his family even comes back before the deadline.

I would be suprised if Coleman plays another game with the Flames

WOW. Any idea what team?

Are you the GM of the team or something?
Sorry Dino, you had that disrespect coming.
Thank you for your contribution, and to all others that have history breaking news, whether your allegiances are with the other side of the iron curtain or not. It's much more fun dissecting the transaction than it is the creditbility, especially when the provider has established history.

I think you are right though, once the break is done, we will see a flurry of action.

I think it was Dreger a while ago who said Colorado was biding their time to accrue cap space and speculated that Coleman was someone they were interested in.

They don't have a lot of interesting trade bait though. No 1st or 2nd this year, and not really a great prospect pool. I'm not really sure what Coleman's trade value is though. Would Brindley and a 2027 1st be enough or too much? I'm not sold on Brindley but I also think we might be over estimating Coleman's worth in a trade given his age and that he has a lot of control over where he goes.
