Why tf are you guys upset with this? This is a steal for Coleman and I’d rather pay him this contract than Goodrow at 3.6 mil x 6 years like my team did. Coleman fits Calgary perfectly

I wouldn't mind this if our team wasn't so goddamn hot and cold all the time. I'm not so sure Coleman puts us over the edge.

Yikes Brad. Now move out money and get Eichel and a top 4 D to redeem yourself

The AAV is generally fine in the grand scheme of things, it’s the 6 years thats gonna hurt us.

As a Devils fan I can tell you that Coleman is a solid player (though I recall being upset about us drafting him in the third round when I badly wanted Gaudreau after watching him live a few times in the USHL).
He can play up and down your lineup and in all situations with a high compete level. He's got a pretty heavy shot too, especially on the backhand, and is a very strong skater. He's like a John Madden / Mangiapane hybrid.
That said it is shocking to see Treliving doubling/tripling down on what seems to be a win-now strategy.

If they trade for Eichel, all is forgiven.
Gaudreau - Eichel - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Lindholm - Coleman

Call me crazy but I think he does. I like Calgary going into this season. Not as a cup winning team but I can see you guys surprise in the playoffs
If anything the last year or two will be bad, he’ll still probably be a solid player then too. Absolute warrior and great defensively, his game should age well considering he made the league late
Coleman feels like a refreshing move for you guys honestly. Cup winner, warrior of a player. Would fit well with the core Calgary has built with guys like Mangiapane, Dube, Backlund, Tkachuk, etc. Tampa had a lot of similar players to those on their team

He had an interview in the Athletic where he said he was chasing a payday to set up his family. After 2 cups, I'm bracing myself to see this guy coast and for me to detest this contract in November

Yup we were a 5 million 3rd liner away from making a real deep run.

Two years too long but that's what happens when you try and attract talent to Calgary.
He's a very good player.

I do really like Coleman, but what is that contract? And Zadorov made 3.2 last year? Sheesh. Neither put us over the top and eating up large chunks of money.
Gotta be something coming to drop some salary and add a legitimate player. Hopefully

I do think Nikita Zadorov will have a career season this year.
Not in terms of points, but in terms of being a tunnel of doom player. This is Sutter's guy.
