Player Discussion Matt Coronato

[Lunatik]

He should be playing over Klapka easily. That Lomberg-Costco-Coronato line looked good that game he got 2.

Top 6 in the AHL > 4th line in the NHL

The only reason why his agent is pushing anything because Matty earns less in teh AHL, thus the agent earns less.

The Flames don't know what to do with Coronato because he's not playing up to the standard that they had planned for. It would be crystal clear if he was playing effective hockey.

And so it begins. In a shocking twist, overloading the team with vets has started to piss off the prospects. Who could have possibly imagined that happening

prospect whose whole game is being a scorer has 6 shots in 5 games, and isn't doing anything else.

I've liked Coronato in the NHL this year, I don't think the comment he's shown more is unfair compared to Honzek, Mantha, Pospisil or any of the 4th line guys this season (or Sharangovich but that's been even more limited).

But progress isn't necessarily a straight line and for at least the first part of this season getting him minutes and letting him score are as important as anything. I think shopping an NHL winger makes sense with where Coronato is at, and playing in the AHL until xmas isn't going to ruin him or the relationship.

I imagine if Mantha continues to be a ghost he will be benched sooner rather than later. That opens a spot in the top 6 for Coronato. My guess is that the Flames told Coronato this was a very short term situation to keep him in game shape and that the Flames roster was going to sort itself out soon.

Coronato needs to tell his agent to shut the f*** up. When he starts producing at the nhl level then he can start bitching if he feels he's being mishandled. Right now, based on his play so far, he's exactly where he deserves to be.

…his agent quite literally didn’t say a single word. It’s also funny because the agent has also since removed the tweet as well, a pretty obvious sign that this was blown way out of proportion from what was expected so he backtracked. Key board warriors are making mountains out of mole hills here.

Coronato's first game with the Wrangler's probably didn't help. Even the Wranglers color guy commented on how Coronato was just okay after a good first couple shifts.

Player usually have that initial stretch after getting sent down where their play is lackluster, and it’s pretty easy to see why. In the human side of things, you both got told you’re not quite there for reaching your dream yet, and on the financial standpoint he just went from an 800k a year job to a 60-80k. 1-3 slow games are pretty fair from his standpoint.
