I think losing out of drafting Kucherov spooked the Flames a little to not gamble too hard on prospects they think other teams might be overlooking. They had him on their list, but gambled that he would fall another round.
I would not be surprised if they knew another team had Chechelev on their list and didn't want to push it to far.
