We have nobody that even remotely resembles him.

Benn has 907 points in 1112 games and plays with a snarl. Again, nobody like him.

And, most importantly, hopefully Wolff turns into Oettinger (top 10 on the league) but that is yet to be determined.

We desperately need a young superstar. Preferably one at least one at forward and one at defence.
Coronato just had a better D+3 year than Robertson had, scoring at a much higher rate in the AHL and spending more time at the same age in the NHL. They also rank similarly in prospect lists when comparing them at the same age. Chances are he won’t be as good, but Calgary certainly does have someone that resembles Robertson in the system and they’ve got a couple of other prospects that could become superstars. This is the fun stuff of rebuilds. Guys are going to step up and let’s hope in a few years guys are talking about The Calgary Model.
