Worst case scenario they trade him to Colorado for a 3rd round pick or something but likely get more than that back.
And Avs don't have to put him on waivers Flames do.

If you try to trade a player you claimed on waivers, you have to waive them first. IIRC, the team that you claimed the player from in the first place gets first priority. If my memory on that point is accurate, then the end result of this scenario is the Flames claiming him back and the Jackets getting nothing.
In this scenario, the Jackets simply claim and keep the player. They need NHL calibre talent even worse than we do.
