I can't say I have watched either player very much so my opinion is based of what highlights I have watched and articles I have read. To me it is very close between Matthews and Laine.

Laine is the perfect fit for the Flames top line. A 6'4 205lb right shot sniper is exactly the type of player that added to Gaudreau and Monahan could form the top line in the NHL.

What I read about Matthews I always see "Franchise center" tag associated with him. Considering a franchise centre is a more important position than top line winger I still take Matthews first overall. Adding Matthews he would be a great fit with Sam Bennett who could switch back to winger and develop there permanently.

people always try to second guess themselves and out smart everybody...Matthews is going 1st overall

Flawless victory.

They either take Matthews, or they move down from 1st to 2nd and add a quality piece.

For example 1st OA for 2nd OA + Brock Boeser is a trade I think would make sense for Calgary. Laine + Boeser would instantly fix all our RH shot troubles.
