Not every situation is the same. Tkachuk had the opportunity to move up to play with Lindholm and Gaudreau. Tkachuk is also a better player.
Coronato and Kadri doesn't put Coronato is a great position to succeed. Kadri is great at doing his own thing, but not great at setting up a shooter.
Huberdeau is ok with Coronato, and they will be on the PP together.
Frost maybe, but he has a ways to go to show he is a 1st liner.
Best case for Coronato is Frost and Huberdeau with him, but if that line doesn't click then IMO Backlund makes sense with Coronato for 1 more year.
We won't see the best of Coronato until we get a top line center.
