On July 1, there are a lot of players talking to a lot of teams. If you can get a few wrapped up early, why not? If there wasn't anyone else available from the Flames that they wanted, why waste a pick and then have an asset you have to deal with that you never really wanted?
It's like if Safeway had a 2 for 1 sale on expired milk. Who cares if it's 2 for 1 if it's rotten?
