I think they are two different things, because of their impact on the players.
If you trade Rittich for Dansk in the off-season - a very sideways trade - at least it is nice and clean, and you tell both of them they are getting a fresh start with a new team.
But if you claim Dansk and then waive Rittich, you end up with the same sideways move but with player disruption on both sides. It's the same result in the end, but handled poorly.
So I don't think your hypothetical criticism of CP holds water.
Back to the topic: claiming Dansk and waiving Rittich does not improve the team.
