Yeah I think you take Matthews if you think he's the best player available and so far it seems like he is. Centres are more valuable and important to a team's success than wingers. Bennett can obviously do a great job on wing if we need.
We're in a no-lose situation at the top end of this draft because we can use a #1 centre, 1st line winger, or top 2 defenseman. So any of Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi, Tkachuk or Chychrun would fill one of those spots.
Flames have the luxury of just taking the best player available. We don't need to force any particular position IMO.
