The players’ names have only been out there for 24-48 hours. Flames management are still trying to negotiate several contracts while preparing for the draft - they only have so much bandwidth. NHL trades these days take a long time to develop - often weeks - and typically get leaked only once they’re in the later stages and agents start to get involved.
