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.

I feel like the Flames have a ton of potential in unlikely sources. Especially if you factor opinions from people outside of Calgary.
I think Klapka has a ton of potential. I also still think Sharangovich is a big x factor. He looked like a 40-goal man 2 seasons ago. I still think if he can find consistency, he has it in him.
I also think Coronato has the type of shot that we should all be excited about. He might not be the line driver, but he has the potential to be a complementary player to a #1 center and a piece on an elite #1 line. I can see 40+ from him too with the right players.
