I think teams in markets like Calgary are smart to gamble on younger players before they fully earn it.

Issue is gambling on the right players.

Get it right and you keep some players here longer and extend what a future window could be.

Get it wrong and you tie yourself to an average player eating up cap space.

I think the Coronato contract given a 25 goal and 50 point season was probably smart.

I have a feeling Zary is a good bet too.
