O'Neill) Easiest decision in Rush history. Like a gift from the gods. First we trade a disgruntled player who was the key in moving team captain Brodie Merril for another disgruntled player. That doesn't work out but circumstances do with Washington finishing last in the 9 team league giving Edmonton the first pick in Mark Matthews . Matthews brings skill, size and speed to the most desirable position in this and many past drafts, the Offensive Lefty. He will direct the powerplay and be the focal point of the Rush offense. Derek Keenan has a winning history already with Mark which quiets any question about chemistry. Matthews is the type of guy that can be the face of your organization for years. Hopefully he can bring success to a team that hasn't had enough in its seven-year existence. Ironically, Bruce Urban lost the coin flip in 2005 at the entry draft and selected second behind Portland who took Brodie Merril whose trade out of Edmonton played into getting this first overall pick. 2 Minnesota Swarm: Brock Sorensen (chosen by Teddy Jenner) Well, even though I tried to trade all of Minnesota's picks to the Rush for the rights to Mark Matthews, they will be incredibly happy to add Brock Sorensen to their youth movement. Built much like Brodie Merrill with more of an offensive touch, Sorensen brings a winning attitude and a non-stop commitment to getting better every year. Add him to the likes of Suitor, MacIntosh, Watt and Haas;
