This is no slight to Matthews, he is the #1 guy. The Finns certainly make it a debate. Those 3 should be no brainers for 1,2,3. But then as I look down the list. Alex Nylander is everything his brother isn't and a whole bunch of what he is. Alex pays a tougher game, and makes everything look so effortless out there. I see Sam Bennett without the rabid junkyard dog mentality. More like trained doberman who knows exactly when and where to be to make that critical strike.
I didn't think there was much in this years draft, outside the top 10 there may be a couple of gems. But dude, this is the year the Flames just need to ease off the playoff pedal and get that RW. There's so many!

I wonder if the Flames or any other team that's picking #1 or #2 will try to pull a Burke and grab both Puljujarvi and Laine like he did with the Sedins.
