What's the connection between Kent Nilsson being traded by the Flames and Jarome Iginla becoming Flames property?

Nilsson Traded to Minnesota for a Draft pick which was used On Joe Nieuwendyk. Nieuwendyk was later traded to Dallas for Iginla.

Essentially correct.
Nilsson was traded for 2 picks--one of which was Nieuwy--the other was Stephane Matteau (or as many fans called him--Step on my toe)
Easily the best trade the Flames ever made in retrospect.
Nieuwy was a key to the Cup win in 89 and even his rookie season alone would have won that trade.
Then to trade Nieuwy and get Iggy was another great move.
