Here's a speculation on what when down:

Downie is banging Varly's wife/girlfriend
Varly catches her at Downie's place and gives her a good slap and drags her out of there
Downie gets punched by Varly on the way out
Varly throws wife/girlfriend into car and drives off against her will
Next day, Downie is traded to the first random team that accepts a trade with no explanation

This explains the 2nd degree kidnapping and 3rd degree assault, and also the mysterious emergency trade out. Kind of like the middle of the night Phaneuf trade to TOR when he got busted having an affair with Conroy's wife.
