The CBA does not say that. As I mentioned in my other posts, if the NHL is taking the position that a players ceases to be an RFA upon signign an offer sheet, then the rule has to applied to the Avs as well. The rule does not read: "a player you formerly had RFA right too until you signed to an offer".
