Bottom 6 contract (dube ish, 2.3 for 3 years)= 6.6 mil
Mangi next contract (5.8 mil)
= 13.25 mil by age 25
Skyshot Adam fox scenario:
2 years at Harvard= 250k
Max rookie contract and bonuses, 2 mil x 3 seasons= 6 mil
9.5 mil second contract
= 15.75 mil by age 25
I dont think hes as good as fox, but he also might think he'll spend time in the ahl under a Sutter regime, further diminishing Flames earnings. Imo the money argument doesn't work in this scenario, and risk of serious injury playing for Harvard seems fairly low.

Why are you giving Fox 250K for Harvard but not Coronato? You are making assumptions that Coronato won't make the Flames and achieve rookie bonuses, how about running the numbers as he does make the Flames and gets the same type of second contract that Fox got (discount a bit as he won't likely win the Norris/Hart trophy, but he could get the Robertson contract from Dallas). That is more likely the scenario Treliving makes to him to sign after Harvard season is done.
Also, signing a UFA free agent contract out of college is still limited to ELC rules with the NHL, it is not like he can sign for $5M a season coming out of college, it just makes his ELC 2 or 1 year depending on age.
