I’m going to assume Corronato starts the season in the AHL and plays at least a half a season there, like the overwhelming majority of prospects with his pedigree.

That's not the point. The point is that Toffoli's offense is absolutely replaceable - whoever plays with Huberdeau and Lindholm will see a bump in production. And Huberdeau will see a bump in production as well - possibly Lindholm too.
Even having a rookie like Coronato playing with them, could easily result in the 3 replacing what we got from Hubs, Lindy and Toff last year (that was what I meant).
Also, I doubt Coronato starts in the A - unless it's for a handful of games only. And no, other players wouldn't be upset if he were on that line.
