Matthew Coronato (5-11, 183), RW, Chicago (USHL)

In 51 games with the Chicago Steel, Coronato had 48 goals and 85 points. Coronato can score goals like anyone in the league, and he is someone that would be a nice addition to the team’s middle six a few years down the line.

Now over the past few months, his stock has only increased, and there is no telling if he will be available when the time Edmonton is picking, but if he is the team should consider adding him to their roster.

Coronato is a skilled winger that can score goals with an excellent release. If Edmonton wants to add another goal scorer to their team Coronato would be a great selection.
