I'd explore moving down. Say Arizona was in the #3 slot and really wanted Matthews. If they were willing to kick in a prospect or two (MacInnis and/or Christian) I would make the move. Take the best Finn available and come away with multiple good assets. I also wouldn't be disappointed if we ended up with Gauthier, which might allow us to move down further and accrue even better assets. It all depends on the Flames rankings and who they see as the BPA. I think this is all for naught. I think we draft at best at the #4 slot, likely lower.
