Arizona Coyotes Nightmare NHL Draft Lottery Scenarios
The Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames are probably salivating at the merest glimmer of a chance (11.5% – third best odds) that they could pair Auston Matthews with Johnny Gaudreau.
The Flames have their own cadre of talented youth and Matthews would certainly accelerate their plan, but so far the pieces haven’t quite fit well enough to create a competitive hockey team.

Calgary is in the Pacific Division so Matthews would come back to haunt the Yotes on a regular basis which would sap all the fun out of seeing him take the ice in the show.
The thought of Mr. Matthews and Mr. Gaudreau on the ice at the same time is enticing as a fan of the NHL, but ultimately unfulfilling. If you’re a hockey fan with no team affiliation and you want to see Matthews paired with young, top end talent, there are better options.
Not the least of those options would be with the Arizona Coyotes in the desert he grew up in.
With the Flames out of the way, that leaves one more option and boy is it ironic…
