Every team CGY was negotiating with had to include a 1st and there were other teams with far better odds of that first being in the 15-20 range than 25-32nd.

It appears that those particular teams were only willing to part with their 1st if Andersson would sign an extension. He wouldn't. Those deals were never on offer under these circumstances.
And the difference between the 30th pick and the 64th pick is very large indeed. The team that holds the 35th pick is really bad and is not going to be trading it for immediate help, so there's not much point in making that comparison.
