15 points in 31 games. Coronato 9 points in 34 games. The player ain’t very good and he can be a UFA in 3 years.
The other trades are good though.

Yeah, I can understand that position, but I don't agree with it. IMO Zegras needs a change of scenery, and once he starts at the bottom and the drive comes back he will see success again. There's only a year and a half difference between Coronato and Zegras, and Zegras already has 2 60+ point seasons in the NHL. Coronato has so far not shown that level of offensive upside. It's a gamble, but it would be the coming season where he would need to show up hard to compete.
I make that trade based on Zegras having higher upside and more raw skill, and that being something our team lacks immensely.
