CBJ would probably match, but that's a guy I wouldn't mind throwing an offer sheet at.

Yeah but Columbus has the same cap space the Flames do, and they don't exactly attract top end free agents. So they can overpay their own good player. So it's kind of pointless unless you want Columbus to pay more. Do you really want to risk your first for a player like Voronkov? Maybe if you're Florida or Carolina....not so much if you're possibly in the bottom 15.
The reason these don't get used much is that the situations where they could work are pretty rare.
