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

[DomBarr]

Here is hoping Sutter is on board with that. Chances are Sutter will put him on a line with Lucic and Lewis. Play him 3 min and tell the world that he still needs to learn the right way to play

Harvard down 4-0 to OSU in the 2nd period

barring some miracle comeback it looks like the moment of truth is going to come sooner rather than later

sooo...is it bad that I kind of would like him to score 5 goals leading to a huge 5-4 comeback win?

The Bison has arrived

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Can someone tell me why he slowed down a ton in the last few months? He started off really hot.

Despite point totals, would anyone say he's improved immensely from last season?

 

[NinjaTurtle]

Alright! Let’s get him in the press box! Maybe he can get 6 minutes with Lewis and Lucic at some point. Let’s go!

From what I read he was playing center for a chunk of the season at one point and was being relied on to play more defensive minded this year

Pretty good article here. Backs and Pelts already text him congrats.

Guy will score goals in bunches eventually. Probably not this season, maybe not next season, but dudes just way too good of a goal scorer not to. If Sutter is still around next year, this is another example of a player he is just going to love as well. All hustle with a good 200ft game.

I’ll get torn apart for saying this, but it’s a shame he’s not eligible to play in the AHL this year. Guy has to learn how to adapt to pro hockey, learn a system he’s never experienced before, and be ready to to play in a league that’s levels above what he’s used to. There’s almost a zero chance he factors into a game until we are mathematically eliminated and for good reason. Guys like Pelletier and Duehr have been playing our system and pro hockey for multiple seasons now, expecting a similar level and instant familiarity from a much younger and MUCH fresher Coronato is foolhardy. Would have been much better if he could adapt in the AHL while learning pro hockey and our system, while also being on a team prepping for a deep push in the playoffs this year. Joining a team that’s playing do or die hockey from the get go is a rough place to be in.
