Blake a connu une excellente saison la saison dernière. La reconstruction bat son plein. Si vous étiez le directeur général, que feriez-vous ? L’échangeriez-vous contre une somme importante ? Ou le garderiez-vous pour encadrer les jeunes pousses qui arrivent ? J’aimerais bien voir ce que pensent d’autres fans !

Keep to set the tone. First class Flame and doesn’t speak in clichés.
He’s earned the right to choose what he wants to do.
See what the player wants. If he’s happy to stay and mentor, I’m happy to have him. Plays the game the right way
Keep him if he wants to stay he’s a great mentor
KEEP
Probably need him for the cap floor the way things are going here..
Keep. 100%. He’s exactly the kind of quality person you need around young developing players.
Coleman is a keep.
Snarky and Kuzmenko are the two guys we want to showcase this year and try to move at the deadline for – ideally – a pick + player + prospect deal each.
Keep him for now.
Keep him
I trade him, he’s only gonna go downhill from this year and we’re not going to be competitive until his contract is over. I think « mentorship » is a little overrated in today’s NHL anyways with how many coaches, personnel and therapists there are these days
I think keep.
He provides great leadership and veteran-osity, he already has his cups so he probably isn’t ring-chasing, and he’s said multiple times how much him and his family love the city.
I sure hope they keep him. The team needs leaders and he is the best there is.
More mentor talk?
I’d keep him as a mentor unless I can get a first
Keep him and make him the captain!!!! Love what this man does for the team morale !
He had one hell of season, he’s also well grounded. Definitely leadership and mentor material.
Keep for sure.
Need good veterans in this lineup. And Blake is one of them. Give him a full time letter. He loves the city and is committed to the team.
The guy wants to be in Calgary. He posts so many things of him and his family loving the city. Unless he asks management for a trade no way he should be going anywhere in my opinion.
Potential deadline trade if someone offers enough
Dude tries so hard every shift, he’d be a good role model to the young guys. Also, a family man.
Keep him
100% keep. I admit I wasn’t a fan at the beginning of his tenure here, he didn’t seem to be deserving of what we were paying him. But he’s found his role, become a team leader, and has the respect of the room and the fanbase. Let’s at least keep a few guys to cheer for next year, can’t we?
100% keep. I think we’ve built up enough draft capital, for the 2025 draft. We need guys like him to show the youngins how to get it done in the NHL.
depends what happens with sharangovich and kuzmenko wouldnt be a bad mentor to keep around during a rebuild
If he wants to stay I want to keep him. Unless some other team stupidly offers us a top 10 pick or something
Keep but if someone offers 3 1st rounders, then I guess he can go.
Keep him until this deadline and sell to the highest bidder
Lol we can’t trade every single veteran. We’re already gonna be legendarily bad this year. If we ice a whole team of rookies minus like 5 guys those rookies are gonna develop like shit. Even in a full blown rebuild u need veteran players to set the tone and set the young guys up for long term success.
It’s up to him. I’d be fine with trading him or keeping him.
I wouldn’t doubt that other players may not want to be part of a long rebuild, but we’ll see.
Out with the old, in with the youth. I just hope we hit a massive home run tomorrow.
Keep I like Coleman 👍 I think he is underrated. Only if he wants it though, if dallas come at him with a good opportunity I’d be happy for him.
Doesn’t matter either way
Trade him, clean house as the current team is awful
Flames got guys like Backs, Ras and Hubey to mentor. Strike while the iron is hot and ship Coleman out
I wanna keep him!
You need someone to play on the roster. Plus it’s not like trading him would singlehandedly bring a haul big enough to jumpstart the rebuild
Keep him. He’s a beauty!
If he stays I’d want it to be because he likes the team, the kids he’s helping and the city. He has his cup, so it’s up to him whether that’s enough or if he’d like to chase another. At the same time, I can see some serious interest given his role as a productive and defensive depth forward. Either way, can’t hurt having guys like him around whether we cash in or use him as a builder.
keep
I’d keep if we can unless the deal is right and it’s a place he wants to go. Doesn’t seem like an easy combo of things to combine.
Love to keep, but it’s his call if he wants out.
He’s the « full effort every shift » type of player every team wants.
Young players need a Coleman, or a Giordano, or a Iginla, MacDonald etc…
Keep him unless he wants out
