Not sure if this has been reported before, but apparently Calgary & Carolina were the only two teams to not even bother talking to Point during his draft year.

That may or not be something. I recall reading a story around Gaudreau that they didn't talk to him because they didn't want to show their hand.
I believe it was a little more complicated for them because they had to be careful who they talked to around because the team Gaudreau played on had ties to Claude Julien, who was in Boston at the time.
You are right though, that is an interesting tidbit. Would love to be able to look at the Flames draft notes or sit down with Button under influence of truth serum to find out about some of these players and decisions.
