Second line forward makes second line money. Details at 11.

He’s a way better player then Brouwer. Much better skater. He’s a 6/7 forward. He can play on a second line. Good all over the ice.

Don't worry, he's not Brouwer... he's legitimately good. He was good even before he got to Tampa. It's the 6 years that are somewhat worrisome.
If he is a third liner he's among the best third liners in hockey, and even if he's slotted onto a checking line he's probably eating 2nd pairing minutes overall, especially once the PK time is factored in.

Coleman is 4 times the player Brouwer was at the time of signing the contract.
That doesn't mean this contract won't be a boat anchor in the last half of the deal.

The contract will look bad in 3 years though.

Not a fan of the player bases on the very limited viewing I have of him in the finals

How anyone can compare Coleman to Neal and/or Brouwer is beyond me. Coleman is a legitimately great player.

For as fantastic as he is offensively, he's even BETTER defensively. LEGIT two-way player who'll fit in perfectly in the top 6
Excellent addition.

Brouwer we got 1 year of good value. Neal we got 0 years. Hopefully if this rumour is true, Coleman bucks the trend, and we at least get more than 1 year of an effective player.

It was said about Frolik as well, which is more of a comparable to this player. And it came true.

We will see if this gets confirmed. Didn’t Jimmy say Gaudreau for Gostisbehere and Voracek was in the works?

I don't doubt Hayes, particularly not with a number that specific. Generally speaking — when I see numbers, it's time for a new thread.

I was afraid of Treliving chasing UFAs again. Good player, but not at that price unfortunately.

Blake Coleman is a better player than what he is getting credit for here. This is a fantastic addition and I am pleasantly surprised with the price. Far superior player to Goodrow. Flames fans are going to love this guy.

Agree. Despite him being a left handed center.

That's the need they need to address the most if they aren't planning on rebuilding. I haven't seen that yet.

Would be thrilled with this addition, and at a pretty good price sub-5M.

Won’t be as bad when the Brouwer buyout money is off the books. That’s how I’ll justify it.

Good news! The Brouwer money comes off the books in 13 minutes!

Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman would be a great line
