Meh, it we sign him, it is what it is. Decent player. Plus, it's not my money.

So what's the selling point? That's a bad combo of factors. Calgary simply ranks amongst the lowest teams in terms of where guys want to go. And as much as we hate it - Edmonton at least has the McDavid selling point

I dispute that one
Vancouver
Toronto
Calgary
Montreal
Ottawa
Edmonton
Winnipeg
Calgary and Montreal are a coin toss

If you "out-Winnipeg" Winnipeg....you're going to do just fine and succeed. Heck, if you just come close, you're a more desired destination. Treliving hasn't been able to come close to that.

Dallas doesn’t have much cap space though. Especially after signing Suter.

Brossoit for backup goalie would be nice too.

Under $5M would be tolerable I think?

Yeah, that doesn't feel like a good contract. If true, will just hope to be proven wrong I guess.

Yeah I wouldn't hate that
I wouldn't love it either, that term is ugly, but under 5 would be a bit of a win

Why is this thread still active? This deal is dead by all reports.
Edit: See? Like I said, deal is done.

Before the news comes out one way or another, I liked Coleman when he was on the devils. He can put up 20 goals without playing with stars and is a hard worker.

We've seen a lot of reports saying it's, off, then on again, then off, then on again, so if you have something new please share

He played with Coleman in NJD, seems like a reliable source (even put the $$$)
