BLAKE COLEMAN - Center - 27 - $1.80MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
Since finally becoming a full-time NHL-er as a 26 year old, Blake Coleman has established himself as a good middle-6 winger for the Devils. Coleman isn't the most skilled player, but he's smart, has a high motor, and moves with intent. He's a steady player who coaches like to trust because he plays a mistake-limiting brand of hockey. He's smart and fast, allowing him to kill penalties at a high level and be an effective defensive forward. Offensively, Coleman, like I said, isn't the most skilled but his speed makes him deadly and his high work ethic makes him an asset in front of the net, even if he isn't the biggest winger. He has a good shot and has shown the ability to score 20 goals. He's under contract at a reasonable rate with a little bit of term left, so as long as the speed doesn't dry up too soon the Devils will have a great third line defensive winger on their hands who can burn opposing defenses with his speed, kill penalties, and pot 20 goals. For less than $2MM against the cap, that's incredibly valuable.
