San Jose recently did it when they acquired Price's contract. Montreal did it when they took Monahan's contract. Pittsburgh did it by taking Dumba's contract. Arizona did it numerous times. I seem to recall a few trades in the past couple of years where a 3rd team took retention in exchange for draft picks. Not really that rare.
