Well for two reasons mostly.
1) Boston has drafted in the first round 7 times in the last 5 years. The Flames have drafted in the first round 3 times in the last five years.
2) If the playoffs start today Bostons pick would be 29th at earliest. The Flames pick 13th at earliest. The difference in calibre of player ( in this draft specifically) is very high).
