These are smart teams, keeping an eye on the out of town scoreboard and strategizing ahead of time. They had the choice at that moment of who there opponent could be, score and we get Edmonton or just let the powerplay fizzle out vs Chicago or heck even allow an empty netter and we get Dallas.

The Kings might be able to do that for their playoff opponent but the Flames definitely can't do that for their draft pick.
