Over the course of history, it's seemingly natural for players to become associated with another. For instance, Hunter Shinkaruk was forever linked with Emile Poirier by virtue of his hometown Calgary Flames opting to select Poirier when both were available at the 2013 NHL Draft. (A similar scenario happened with Mark Jankowski and Olli Maatta in 2012.)
At the 2014 Draft, general manager Brad Treliving made another life-long pairing in his first draft as a GM, selecting Mason McDonald as the first goaltender instead of Thatcher Demko.
Especially because of Demko's brilliance on the college level and his prominence in the plans for the rival Vancouver Canucks, it's likely that Flames fans will be scrutinizing the McDonald selection for a long time.
