The Flames probably leaked this 3 for 1 deal out intentionally to let the fan base know they are looking at all avenues with regards to the draft. Fully knowing that the top 3,4 picks are not willing to move those picks for any rational deal.
I would imagine the same deal was offered to FLA and TB as well.
One thing that is certain the Flames over the last 10 years or so only leak to the media what they want to intentionally.
