Niewendyk and Gilmour definitely walked out on the Flames to force a trade.
If I remember correctly with MacInnis, his contract was up and - instead of signing him for the BIG money of the time - they traded him (Housley deal). I'm also sitting here thinking an offer sheet may have been involved by St Louis, but it's long enough ago I don't remember clearly.
