Actually i'm still puzzled. Florida put him on waivers yet we had to trade Montador for him. Was it because we had too many contracts?

How many waiver claims or projects have the flames made or taken on since that move? Success rates have to be far below that of a mid to late round draft pick panning out.
The Flames likely made the trade instead of claiming him because of an internal budget or contract numbers. As I mentioned earlier, it may seem like a good idea to claim a player but there are far more implications then it simply being a "no risk move" as many like to say.
