Honestly, I don't believe we've ever seen a move like this before.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in previous CBA's you couldn't trade long term injured players.
I'm wondering if this clears the way for the Blue Jackets to buy him out in the off season, which makes all kinds of sense. They would save money by being able to pay out over a longer term, and get a reduced cap hit.
