You understand that they are not available to other teams, right? The Flames would still have to pay market price for them.
Let's say, for example, that the Flames want Methot. The current situation is that vegas can take their pick of the available players from Ottawa - that may or may not be Methot, it's whoever they like best. So in order for them to pick Methot and trade him to the Flames, the Flames would have to offer an asset that Vegas likes better than Methot (or any of the other available Ottawa players).
Otherwise, Vegas would just keep Methot (or whoever they like best).
