What I said was that he is the weakest link between Mangiapane, Toffoli and him. I didn't say he was a liability. Calgarys current top 6 caliber players are Hub, Kadri, Linholm, Mangiapane, Backlund, Toffoli, Coleman. If you were to replace one of those players with a better one, Coleman would be the odd one out, is what Im saying. CGYs forward group is really good but if they were going to improve on anything it would be the forwards. Since they lost two elite wingers and got one back.
While I understand what you are saying I don't entirely agree. Calgary has some very good prospects that could make the line up. Pelletier is very promising and Zary has been the Flames best player at these young stars games. Dube can also certainly jump into a top 6 role. Not to mention Milano on the PTO
Personally I don't see any chance of Coleman being separated from Backlund, they have far too much chemistry. I do think Calgary should consider adding someone to the top 6 before the playoffs but certainly not at the cost of your 1st pair top 25 defenseman. Futures can be traded in that scenario instead
