I think Peter Griffin's explaination makes sense. If Cowan had been claimed on re-entry waivers, since the season was half over the Canucks would have absorbed 1/4 of Cowan's cap hit and LA 3/4's (as they had half of his salary count before he was picked up, plus half of the remaining half after was picked up) but NHL Numbers has them splitting it fairly evenly (284k for Vancouver, 248k for LA).

Yeah, I couldn't find anything about it either. I just really remember him being on re-entry, and me thinking that it was a great pickup because of that.
