I think that is because that is what the agent and Flames want to be out in the media.
Because if you're trying to drag Boston or Florida into the frenzy then Tampa being the "front runner" is the best way to do that.
As of today Florida likely gets Tampa in round 1, and then would likely get Boston in round 2 if they were to win.
They are trying to get an interdivision bidding war going among Florida, Boston and Tampa Bay.
That's best for both the Flames, and Hanifin to maximize the actual AAV of his contract.
