While of course we all naturally want the 1st overall for selfish reasons, there's a terrific marketing component to having McDavid vs Matthews as the two first overalls going head to head for a decade in the battle of Alberta. In viewing the ratings decline for the playoffs for lack of Canadian teams, this would be such an easy mimmick to Crosby/Ovechkin and boost so much life into the feud.
Dare to dream, Arnold.
