If coronato got a 1st line 1st pp role. Who’s he playing with? Dube and Pelletier? Lol they all aren’t popping playing up and down the lineup. If they do we move guys. Once again if coronato plays first line and pops and gets paid his linemates are likely Huberdeau and Lindholm. Mangiapane and Kadri likely are on the 2nd line. Really you’re dreaming if you think everyone pops all at once. If they do look out we are a contender
Where the hell did I say that?

As for Tkachuk, he popped in year 3 from 49 to 77 points and could have locked him down at $8.5/9m but didn't have the cap space so Treliving gave him the dumbest bridge ever.

If Coronato or any other player shows elite progression it would sure would be nice not having $9m tied up in another aging player like Lindholm, even Nostradamus wouldn't know if any of our young players will pop to elite let alone you.
