It was Hossa who had just signed and then was traded for Heatley. (Edit2: Ottawa signed Hossa to avoid the arbitration hearing and an hour later shipped him off to Atlanta for the RFA Heatley. Heatley near immediately signed his contract with Ottawa.)

Russell was absolutely a sign and trade, but a different circumstance and a rarity.
