I think the flames should ask him how much to not go back to school?

Go back to school when you’re done making zillions.

[TheScorpion]

You can't give a player whatever he wants on his entry-level deal. Bound to the terms of the CBA.

[Samonadreau]

Problem is Coronato probably doesnt make the team this season and I think if he has the choice between school and ahl he picks school.

My bet is 1 more year at Harvard, try to dominate college.

[Goriders]

RW. He might make it.

[Erick Estrada]

I would let him cook for another year. Team will be good next season without him so no need to rush him.

Add him in April for an epic playoff run. It'll be Jarome Iginla all over again, but through multiple rounds and hopefully a Stanley Cup.

Nah, it'll be Jarome Iginla all over again exactly. Coronato will be the only player who shows up, they'll get swept in the first round, and it will be eight years before they get another sniff of the playoffs.

Just trying to be a Flames fan here. Am I doing this right?

The best you can do is accelerate his RFA status - like Gaudreau.

[Moneyhands23]

I hope he has a killer year in the ncaa then signs for late March/early April to join the team!

Wheeler called him the best forward on the American squad and that he could “play in the nhl tomorrow”
High praise!

End of the season/playoffs 2022/2023 debut!

[getbak]

The Frozen Four final is on April 8 and the Flames season ends on April 12, so even if Harvard won the National Championship, he could still join the Flames before the end of the regular season.

If they don't make the Frozen Four, but do make the NCAA tournament, his season will end two weeks earlier. If they don't make the tournament, his season will end sometime in mid-March.

[Red_Baron]

Maybe he can do to Colorado what Cale Makar did to us in 2019...

[Fourteen FTW]

Liked the 2nd vs Sweden. Awesome release!
