[Signing] Flames extend Matt Coronato (7 years, 6.5M AAV)

[midniteowl]

Could AC please make a video of all the Coranato's goals for us to enjoy? Thanks in advance.

[Goriders]

He’s the real deal.

[Finger Cookin]

I was just a *little* off with my guess if a 2 year bridge deal totaling $7M lol

[Reggie Dunlop]

Okay

[EVERLAST]

Me thinks Mr Matthew Coronatos trajectory is much much higher than any of us know.
Makes me wish He had Gadreau feeding him one timers . Maybe Huberdeau and him can hook up next year with each player popping 30 goals a piece and 80ish points and being 2complete 200 ft players

This is a dsmn good day for the flames and Conroy is getting important stuff started.
Excited to see what's next

[Bonded]

Not a lot of downside to this contract. Love it

[dissentowner]

This is a great signing. Glad to see him locked up long term.

[Ashes]

6.5 x 7 is going to look great down the line, can't wait to see his progression even as soon as next season.

If all goes well and the Flames are in a playoff window for the last 3-4 years of this deal, and with the cap going up - having a prime Coronato on this deal while being a key contributor on the top two lines will be massive.

It's not inconceivable to think we just locked up a yearly 30+ goal scorer for all of their prime years just as this retool is starting to take shape. Nice one Conroy.

Thinking about it, why wouldn't you want to live in Canada getting paid American dollars. Your dollar would go so much farther. Just food for thought.

But I like the signing. I thought it was gonna be in the 7-7.5s range

The American angle is overblown. We have retained and brought in American players who have signed here before. Just because 2 left doesn’t change that.

Build a good young team that has a bright future and players will stay and come here. Everyone can offer the same money but what can set you apart if having a team that has a bright future and numerous chances to make the playoffs and win.

Was he eligible for arbitration?

Was he living in res?

Great signing, love it. Keep the RFA signings coming Conroy!

[Paulie Walnuts]

Kadri led our team with 279 shots. That’s too much for a center and almost 100 more shots than the next guy Coleman.

Coronato had 180 shots. I think the next step is he needs to shoot more and aim for 250 next season. If he can get into that 250-300 range he will be scoring 30-40 goals.

I am so glad this isn't another stinkin bridge deal. This is worth the risk. Very likely to be a good contract.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

This. Is. Awesome.

Yeah, he is exactly the kind of player you take risk on. He is a former 1st round pick showing results in his full pro season that were projected by scouts justifying his draft pedigree.

Really, only Chucky left early. Johnny did sign a 6 year, which locked him up for most of his prime.

Great first signing of the summer! One a sunny hot day in Calgary, puts me in a good mood.
