We almost got a 1st round pick for taking on Cam Ward's contract in Tree's early days, but the deal was never executed.
Also, going to repost this so people see it:

No, that's Vegas asking a third team to retain 50% of Fleury's contract as an intermediary to broker a deal with someone else - and they're offering that third team a 2nd round pick to retain that 50%, which is a bad deal for that third team (which is why no one has done it).
That is NOT Vegas eating 50% of Fleury and packaging in a 2nd round pick for someone else to take Fleury.
