I'm not expecting Coronato to get 40+ points but for me there is quite often a Coronato type prospect who ranks around or outside the top 20 in the NHL that surprises. When is the last time the Flames had that guy that played better than expected and was the big talk around the league as a surprise rookie. For once, why not the Flames? If he can put up 25 goals and 50 points, that would really improve the Flames depth scoring this year.

I'm all for it!. But comparing him to Barzal, Kaprizov and Pettersen is probably not a great plan. All I am saying is that people should have reasonable expectations for him. And 30-40 points for a rookie is really good.
