They didn't pick him up off waivers from, they got him back from Colorado for a 5th round pick. The trade was right before the deadline IIRC.
It had something to do with the waiver draft in the fall. They could reacquire a guy they traded prior to the waiver draft for some reason. The rule was designed to keep teams from somehow circumventing the waiver draft.
The Flames obviously didn't do that there though and can't believe McAmmond had to sit out the remainder of the season.
