"Coleman's playoff track record is very attractive to teams that are looking for Stanley Cup-winning experience. During his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he helped the Bolts win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020 and 2021, he scored the insurance goal in the Lightning's 2-0 win in Game 6 of the Cup final against the Stars. In 65 career playoff games, Coleman has recorded 31 points (12 goals and 19 assists)."
"Those teams being the Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Utah Mammoth and the Carolina Hurricanes. If acquired by the Leafs, he could provide some depth in the bottom six, an area in which the Leafs have struggled for the most part this year. Coleman can take over a game with his physicality, as he isn't afraid to lay some big hits on opponents or drop the gloves."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are among several teams showing interest in Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman. Coleman, 34, has 11 points (8 goals, three assists) in 28 games and is tied for the Flames' team lead in goals, including two short-handed strikes. Coleman won back-to-back Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay and has 31 points in 65 career playoff games, offering valuable postseason experience. Calgary is struggling this season at the bottom of the Pacific Division and league standings. If acquired, Coleman could add bottom-six depth, physical play, net-front presence, and increased hitting for a Leafs team seeking more grit.
