For a top prospect, I don't think it's a strange thing to hope that you get to see them separated from their extremely high scoring offensive linemate that they've been paired with for multiple of their best seasons. If we want to know what Coronato's overall offensive potential is we need a better idea of what he is capable of when he's less comfortable.

I think playing with prolific scorers is good for development.
Mangiapane played with LeBanc in junior, Tkachuk played with Marner in junior, and it was good for the development of both these guys.
If anything learning to play with high end skill is a tough adjustment when you hit the majors.
The teams themselves don't care about scoring totals, but rather process. Creating chances, playing with pace, getting open etc. Some of those skills don't develop playing with less skilled players.
