If I had a client who was looking at buying a corporation that had one major contract and there was an ambiguous clause as between the corporation and another party in that major contract, and I made my own independent judgment on what the clause meant, I would be fired on the spot. The logical thing to do would be to contact one or both parties to get their interpretation of the ambiguous clause, but sadly the Flames do not do what any competent legal counsel would do. Unbelievable.

This is my biggest issue with the whole thing.
I actually agree with Feaster's interpretation of the rule. Issue is he could have checked with either NHL offices or the NHLPA offices on the actual meaning of the rule.
Instead he risked it and went with the way he and O'Reilly's agent interpreted the rule.
He should be fired just for that reason alone.
