With the draft lottery being a little over a month away I know a lot of posters here are preparing for the worst in terms of draft order but I'm really hoping (as most are) that the flames win the coveted first overall pick.

Admittedly I haven't seen Matthews play a whole lot aside from YouTube clips but as I read more and more about him from those who have, he's the player I would like to land in the hands of the Flames. Not sure if it was posted in this thread but last month Crawford said an 18 year old Matthews is a better player than the likes of Benn, Daniel, Henrik, and Kopitar all were at the age of 19.

Crawford may be a little biased as he is currently Matthews' coach but nevertheless, who ever wins the lottery is going to acquire a fantastic player.
