Still the question is who's your Robertson....
But you can't say that with internal growth + Marner that this team can't compete.

I'd think Coronato would better compare to Robertson (shooting winger, 40 goal upside IMO) than Johnston, who is currently the #1 C on Dallas by icetime.
That's probably the biggest piece missing if you are looking at Dallas as a model, is that 1-2 punch at C, and the Flames dont have it yet, and certainly not in the age bracket to have the upside Johnston is showing.
I don't know what the solution is to get the Flames that kind of C depth, but I do agree that adding Marner for no asset cost, would be beneficial to getting the Flames closer to that level.
