It's probably a defence mechanism since it seems (though still unknown) the Flames don't have interest in him. Downplay him in your mind, doesn't sting as much when we bypass him on draft day.
Personally I'd pick him over Monahan and a lot of others would to judging by the poll. He's more skilled in my mind and it would be a shame if we didn't take him if he's there and Monahan is gone, but it wouldn't surprise me.
