Good reasoning...and I don't disagree and I like Mattson...

...but D'Artagnan also has the frame (6'3, 181 lbs but probably 195-200 when he fills out?), and better production (48 points in 66 QMJHL games as a 17 year old, which was 3rd on his team with no one at a point per game for an idea of how young a team it was) and he's that ever-elusive right handed shot right winger. IIRC he is also a superior skater to Mattson.

Plus he's D'artagnan.

Still some great choices to argue over for our 29th best prospect.
