That rule also applied to Gio last year even though he was taken by Seattle in the expansion draft rather than a trade. The Leafs were able to acquire him at the deadline with Seattle retaining salary, but the Flames could not.

I wonder how detailed the rule is. Presumably TO wouldn't be able to trade him back to Calgary in a transaction afterwards either. But what if TO waived him and Calgary was the successful claimant?
