We've discussed this player a bit already, but another player to keep an eye on for this upcoming draft is LW Matt Coronato, who plays for the Chicago Steel of the USHL. This year, he amassed 85pts (including 48 goals), in only 51 games. Kyle Connor's draft year was 80pts (35 goals) in 56 games.

This kid has it all-the hands, skating, 200ft game, and even plays with bite, as evidenced by his 57 PIMS (69 in 45gp last year). He plays in all situations, including PP and PK. The only thing he doesn't have is size, at 5'10".

He's steadily been climbing up the ranks in many mock drafts, and it seems that many are projecting him in the middle to late stages of the first round, which I think is where he should be, but he was pegged as a second-rounder for most of the year.
