Prospect Info: Matthew "The Bison" Coronato (13 Overall 2021) - Signed to ELC

[Fig]

Did did Francis say?

He asked if he'd play 4 years at Harvard, which was fine, but then started going old man yelling at sky about our last Harvard draftee who didn't sign with us which was weird and uncomfortable.

Then he compares him to Johnny Gaudreau, so I shut it off.

[Tkachuk Norris]

Francis the first to interview him and immediately makes it ugly and awkward....

Calgary’s version of a Right of Passage

 

[Tkachuky]

his name should be Vinnie. Change my mind.

Maybe that’s why Fox didn’t want to sign. Couldnt deal with Francis

 

[Rubi]

He was my first choice so I'm glad Treliving took him. Of course being an American from NYC with plans to attend Harvard there's always a chance you know what happens. Fingers are crossed that the pick works out.

I wonder how he got the Flames hat that quickly?

I like him, he is a straight talker, hopefully he signs with us.

I gave the interview another try. I love how he retorts to Francis he thinks Gaudreau is a great player, but he doesn't play like him, then highlights his own strengths.

Solid kid. I like the cut of his jib. I'll have to check out some highlights and see why he's nicknamed the bison.

He talks about ot at the end on why he called the bison.

It is because he drives to the net and he growled like a bison, so the announcers named him bison.

Yeah I listened to the rest of the interview. It was decently good. I meant I want to see the highlights of his playstyle that got him that nickname .

I'm really growing on this pick. I like it

 

[cheechoo]

I feel like him and Chucky are going to be an awesome duo of the future. Seems like a pure finisher, and a RHS. Also uber competitive. Tkachuk loves to make those nifty touch passes and Coronato will slam them in the back of the net.

Just one lottery win away from, Shane Wright + Elias Lindholm, Johnny Gaudreau + Pelletier/Zary, Matthew Tkachuk + Matt Coronato combos to overwhelm teams with

 

[Anglesmith]

Why does he hold his stick with his left hand on top? Is that allowed?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Congrats you guys! Steal of the draft!. Dude is an amazing player.
By far the best goal scorer, points producer in this draft.
- can't forget other aspects of his game thou, dudes a warrior who gives 110% every time

1st line upside.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Why does he hold his stick with his left hand on top? Is that allowed?

I hear he even curves the blade the wrong way

 

[Anglesmith]

Well he'd better take some time to sort that out at Harvard.

 

[Corpus X]

Francis seems to ask questions first a lot... Is that to get it over with quicker?

 

[TheHudlinator]

Maybe that’s why Fox didn’t want to sign. Couldnt deal with Francis

To be fair I'd gain a ton of respect for any prospect that said that. Might be the only way to get rid of the bag of hot air

Matthew Coronato on being taken 13th overall by the Flames - Sportsnet.ca

[Flames Fanatic]

So f***ing happy. Was my pocket pick for months.

 

[herashak]

That bison meme by the announcer is hilarious .. I thought it was a dog or demon growl at first

 

[InfinityIggy]

And there was much rejoicing.

 

[Rubi]

So the last time the Flames picked in the #12 area was back in 2011 when Sven Baertschi was drafted #13. Hopefully Coronato turns out to be abetter pick than Sven.

 

[JPeeper]

I am fully hyped boyos, we'll see how he progresses next year at Harvard.

If Johnny indeed re-signs, Coronato would be a perfect RW for him in a few years.
