It could also mean that a team picking later in the top 10 has their heart set on a particular player and if that guy goes earlier that they could then be willing to trade down. If a player that the flames covet it is still available it might make sense for the Flames to do a trade with that team.
I interpret the top 10 consensus, but then not all of the teams agreeing on the order inside that top ten, as a potential opportunity for a trade.
