It's kind of crazy that we only have 2 right shot forwards on the team (Coronato and Klapka), inlcuding among our immediately available prospects. I think that is lowest out of any team in the league. A few teams only have 3 (Colorado, Tampa, Florida), but most other teams have 5-10.
Colorado, Tampa, and Florida are all really good teams so it obviously doesn't hold them back, but I think in general it helps to have a good mix of right and left shot options especially on your top scoring lines and PP. I think Coronato earned the opportunity just on merit alone to get top line ice time on this team, but I expect Klapka may get a lot of rope as well. Maybe that's not really going out on a limb considering he was given some time on the top lines near the end of last season already.
