I know that sucks. We may want to believe otherwise but that's the reality.
Krebs is the best prospect for either franchise and the one that has top line upside.
If Buffalo wants a quality deal not quantity, it's going to be tough to beat.

Yeah I totally accept that may be consensus and I am a homer who is always going to prefer the flames own prospects, but I can't find any prospect lists ranking him that highly. My homer take is that I see a 17th overall pick who performed as expected as a 19/20 year old in the dub last year and would expect his stock to be similar to where he was picked, maybe a little higher, who has looked overmatched in his 20/21 year old season in the NHL.
He's playing 10-16 minutes a night with PP time, has zero points in seven games, has been a minus in 5 of them and is a negative corsi player on a line with Chandler Stephenson one of the best two way players in the league IMO. And he's playing wing no less. I see a smallish forward who will play in the nhl and contribute eventually, but not somebody who is bursting onto the scene making me think 1st liner. Know he has a ton of runway left and I am a homer and while Coronato was a higher pick who scored bigger in junior was a weaker league and he has no track record in the NCAA so more uncertainty I guess. For me I'd see them as close to equal, higher pick with less track record vs. later pick who has basically proven his draft year was an accurate indication of his talent.
