It’s pretty much what Burke said. I think Matthew wanted to be a Flame and the Flames wanted him as their #1 target.

Sucks how things played out, but we still got 6 years out of him and 2 of our best seasons in franchise history.

I was wrong about the player. He is a superstar and probably was the glue of the team.
Really? I thought he fooled and shocked everyone, I think there were about 15,000 "whos" at the draft party in Rogers Arena.
