Just because you don't have Pospisil levels of physicallity and agitation doesn't mean that Coronato (who is a tireless worker and good forechecker) can't have a similar effect.
The alternative is leaving Coronato in the AHL the rest of the season or until the trade deadline in March. You aren't brining him up to play 8-10 minutes a night on the 4th line and 2nd PP. He proven he's at or above that level and it's time to let him show it again with players that are playing well.

No it's not. Managing 4 lines is not a single binary decision.
