The notion of being worth a 1st or not is pretty stupid, considering the value of 1sts is extremely variable.

IMO he is 'worth' a 1st (with a presumed outcome in the ~teens), but I think it's pretty unlikely you could actually trade Coronato for a 1st:

- he's probably not worth a top 10 pick, especially this year
- he's not ready enough to be a difference maker for a team picking in the 20s

So the only way would be a team with multiple picks trading a lower one (DET 17OA, CHI 19, or several teams in the 20s), or maybe you get a heavily protected (top 10 or top 15) pick a few years out.

But then I'd also ask if anyone would be willing to part with 16OA or a future 1st for Tyler Boucher or Isak Rosen?
