If I were GM, and Matthews was not going to happen, I'd want to add one of the RW's. They're both precisely what the Flames need to fill the gap in the prospect pool.
The Flames went real heavy on D last year (yes, you must include Hamilton) taking 3 of them with their 5 picks.
Chychrun looks good, but even if you went BPA, I feel that the Flames would put big, fast skilled RW's ahead of D men on their list. Perhaps if the Flames are out on the Finns and Matthews, then sure, he'd certainly be a better pick than Tkachuk.
I find myself hoping though that the Flames can nab a middle 1st round pick on top of their and nab Tyler Benson too. Looks like a good fit with the kind of game he plays.
