"Intellectual dishonesty"? Are you kidding, Mike?
And not one player that projects as a 1st liner in 5 years? That's a tough one. Coronato does, IMO. Zary could be. Any of: Honzek, Gridin, Suniev, Basha and Battaglia have a chance - it's a long shot for each, but that's how progression works, and why you want multiple picks, because 5 longshots is much better than one.
To adamantly proclaim that they have 'not one' is a bad take. Bold, I'll give him that. But also bad.

I think you're splitting hairs here. I mean sure several forwards have the chance to become 60 point players, which technically puts them in the top 96 forwards in the league. I think that Scorp meant there's no Iginla, no Gaudreau, and no Tkachuk level prospect among the forward group ATM. At least no one with that sort of hype.

Coronato could very well have a similar career to Cammalleri or Toffoli, which is a pretty decent production. I have to squint pretty hard to project him as more than that, but it will be interesting to see him progress.
Both Zary and Frost look like players that generate their own offense, so I have a hard time projecting them as well. I would be pretty happy if either of them becomes a good 2nd line C.
