What I'm imagining these two kids as:
Johnny Gaudreau's vision, skating and elusiveness, Sean Monahan's goal scoring sense and shot, Mikael Backlund's 200-foot game, in Rene Bourque's body.
vs
Jarome Iginla's goal scoring sense plus Mike Cammalleri's one-timer release, Kristian Huselius' hands, Daymond Langkow's hockey sense, in Joe Colborne's body,
Just seems like a win-win. Matthews would be the perfect addition to the 05-'10 Flames and Laine the perfect addition to the '16-and-on Flames. However, is Matthews' skillset redundant? Nah, it just means we'd be able to have 40 minutes of onslaught instead of 20.
