I don't know the last time someone drafted 12th OA or higher went to UFA like that. It might be Blake Wheeler, which was 17 years ago.
Coronato should probably be NHL ready within 2 years. If not, that'll be fairly disappointing. Definitely at least by the third year. And that would still leave a year of wiggle room.
If he hadn't signed by the third year, it would be a time for a trade.

True, I just mentioned it due to the Harvard connection.
