It seems like the trade went down like this. San Jose puts Mashinter on waivers, NY Rangers are interested but don't want to give up a contract spot, not have him on the NHL roster. They wait until he clears waivers, then make the offer to San Jose, we'll trade you Tommy Grant, likely a career AHLer, so we don't lose a contract slot, but we'll give you a draft pick as compensation for Mashinter, who we do actually want.
