I think it would add another layer of danger to the line.

You know Kadri can drive the play but having Coronato on that line provides Hubey with the option to pass the puck to a player who can score from the rush and from a distance.

The opposition would have to be aware of where Coronato is at all times when facing that line. Right now, when Hubey has the puck teams simply double team him, often sliding the player from Pospisil to Kadri and sliding (or cheating when playing zone) the other player from Kadri to Hubey thus taking away his options. You can't do that with Coronato, he can make them pay for leaving him open.

It's essentially about options for me, which I believe that both Pelts and Coronato bring more of than Pospisil when combined with Kadri and Huberdeau.
