^I imagine that a team like CBJ, if it wanted O'Reilly on that deal, could argue this and attempt to compel compliance with the CBA whereby they would have the chance to claim him. Same with BUF, or anyone else who'd have that chance.

Good luck with that.
Yes. This is how contract law works. Daly does not get to decide what the agreement says after it's been concluded. If this was challenged, it would go to court, and the judge would look at the document. What Daly thinks it means would not resolve the matter, the wording in the document would.
