If they knew without a shadow of a doubt who Carolina was taking it would be a shrewd move. That might be tough information to come by, though.
I could see them flipping picks with Carolina more than Calgary for that reason.
If I'm the Flames, I try and do a flip with Carolina and then make the move with Tampa. Would probably cost less than an outright flip with Tampa.
