From a Flames' standpoint, something like:
NYI:
Stajan

CGY:
DiPietro
Nino

Sit him all year, to make sure he doesn't ever hurt himself, and then use an amnesty buy out on him in the off-season. You end up 'buying' Niederreiter essentially. Have no idea if it would be fair (or feasible) for any side, but would be interesting. Toronto definitely has the cash to do it, and as long as they send an equal cap hit (or close) back that is expiring, I am sure the Islanders would be willing to accept a heck of a lot less in trade just to be free of their 'mistake contract'.

Dont know how realistic that is but I wanted to quote and thank for your creativity
