I actually have observed the opposite. I had seen more talk on Zary on various media platforms.
Both are important. Zary was drafted a year earlier and has played out all three years of his ELC and has 3 accrued seasons. So he's more known as he established himself as a NHL player last year and is now finding out if he'll be a center as opposed to a winger.
I ask because I'm not sure if Coronato can be offer sheeted in the summer like Zary can. Zary will be about to start his age 24 season next year. So to me he's in the range where you try to do 8 years as his last deal the Flames ever offer him unless he goes on to become a legacy type player. Just a matter if he's a center or winger to figure out price. Coronato is only a year younger...but you still have him as RFA for 5 years vs 4 and possible as an exclusive RFA. Although if he keeps up this level of play the Flames maybe give him a look at center? Although I think he's likely a winger.
