They dump a couple of contracts to us and get the player they want. We drop a one way deal, they give us some depth at d. Not a bad outcome for a player that we could have lost for zip.

This 100%
Flames get:
Save money
fill out AHL D (especially important if they want to call up Andersson at times, not leaving the farm depleted)
See if they have anything in Valiev
Habs get:
a 6/7D with NHL experience, possible upside
shed a contract (room for a waiver claim, or more likely just flexibility to trade later)
