Yes, because I have a law degree - I am not saying that what Friedman thinks is relevant, only that I agree he's right that it SOUNDS like it applies only to the Avs (in this case) RFA list, and that it would be a good battle for the lawyers. Others are speaking as if Daly's interpretation is authoritative and his comments end the discussion - it is not. "Meaningless" is too strong a word, but what Daly says is not the be-all end-all here. You read the words in the document and come to a conclusion about their plain meaning.
Not to mention as Puckluck says, Daly's response was to a question framed as if the Avalanche had re-upped with ROR, which doesn't address the issue here.

Sorry, in my reading if it said "the" club's list, then it would have to be Colorado who signs him to be waiver exempt, by saying "a" club's list, anyone could sign him.
