Same thing though. The Flames had confidence they could sign him or else it was a wasted use of a late pick.
I actually think this was a little unusual. Most agents wouldn't be telling teams "there's no chance". They'd say "let's talk and see what you'd be offering". Most players want the best deal, not "I only want to play in X". I strikes me that many players who want to play only in one certain place, lose their mojo when they get there.
