Because if Matthews is the BPA and you're drafting at #1 you WILL take him unless you trade down. So if TOR wants him then they'd have to give you an appealing enough package to move down a spot or two. Otherwise you're happy to walk up to the podium and say Matthews name.

Now if the Flames think Laine or Puljujarvi is the best player available or they like 2-3 of them equally then the price to move down can be lower. Maybe just a 2nd and a 4th or something.
