So basically Feaster is claiming:

- They knew about the waiver issue
- They consulted with the NHLPA rep, but apparently not the NHL
- They proceeded with the offer sheet on the basis that their "interpretation" was correct, with the risk of losing two picks and $2.5M if they were wrong
- NHL (via Daly) saying this morning they were wrong
- They consider the issue dead because the Avs said last night they would match
- No evidence that Avs have officially matched

Is that it?

If so, Feaster isn't stupid or necessarily negligent but borderline reckless in handling the assets of this team. Flames owners can't be happy about the negative PR that this is generating; at worst they will be very unhappy if they end up losing the picks and $2.5M after all.
