Lots of chatter around how you make room for Coronato and it likely won't happen but if they went with a younger more offensive / energy 4th line then I think you could do:
Watching the Cooley interview had me rolling.
Talk about a kid who just speaks his mind and loves what he does, 0 hockey cliche answers, absolutely speaking his true feelings and laughing the entire time it was hilarious to see his reaction.
"Its basically just fling yourself to the puck and hope it hits you"
I like this guy!
We were talking about him at lunch and figured he was Conroy’s long lost son. Same mannerisms.

When you’re going for a job, one of the top pieces of advice you’ll ever receive, is to find out as much as you can about a company so that you come across as proactive, interested and informed during the selection process.
This guy definitely did his homework on Connie.

Gotta find skilled wingers for Coronato, can't just bury him on the fourth line, IMO.
Why don’t you think Pospisil belongs there ? He was deliberately put there, with the thinking being, as I understand, that Huberdeau had success with guys who bring speed and jam. He had his 115 pt season mainly centred by Bennett.
Plus, he has been noticeable and a point per game guy in international play representing Slovakia the last couple of tourneys
Part of good management is identifying these guys, not mismanaging them (which is essentially what you’re asking for with Coronato)

3) the case can be made that it is a chicken and egg issue... do they show less Flames' highlights because there are fewer Flames fans, or are there fewer Flames fans because they get less coverage?
It is hardly unreasonable to expect a national sports network to present a somewhat balanced presentation of a game involving 2 Canadian teams
I’ve always wondered whether the national media favouring one regional team over another didn’t contribute to the demise of the Expos and Nordiques.

Pospisil is a great agitator, but I'm not sure there's enough skill there to warrant regular top line minutes.

Not sure how this is relevant?

Not sure how putting Coronato with Backlund can be considered mismanagement...

It absolutely did with the Nordiques. As I just mentioned in another thread: In the days when the Nordiques were owned by Carling-O'Keefe and HNIC was sponsored by Molson, the CBC hardly admitted there was a team in Quebec City. The only time they could count on being seen nationally was during the playoffs. That cannot have been good for their fan base or their finances.

Yeah, that's a great example.
Looking at it from another angle - the NFL is an example of how treating all franchises essentially equally has made the entire league stronger.
