Yah he will get AHL next season. Having him just around the team is useless in knowing what we have with him, let's see him on the ice. I am not expecting him to make an immediate impact, but we can see what tools he has and his shot and what he can work on.
When Coronato debuted, we saw his deadly shot on display, and he almost scored twice.
This won't hurt his development at all, and we have a few guys who deserve to sit.
