Agreed - the smaller you are, the better your skating has to be.
For example, if Matthew Phillips could skate like Gaudreau, he’d be Gaudreau. He’d have been in the NHL for half a decade or more as one of this team’s primary offensive weapons.
But because his skating is just okay, and he’s the size of a Keebler elf, he has 5 NHL points 7 years after he was drafted.
Coronato isn’t THAT small - he’s hockey player sized. He can fill out, get stronger, and become the player we expect him to be.
But he isn’t good enough right now.
