I'm not arguing that. Daly is. His argument is that O'Reilly ceased to be an RFA the moment he signs an offer sheet.
He doesn't then become an RFA again as soon as Colorado matches, and then go through a magical status where he is both signed and an RFA at the same time in order to avoid waivers.
I'm merely saying that if Daly is going to take that stance, he should stick to it. O'Reilly goes to waivers. The Flames are the most likely team to acquire him on a 6.5 million contract for 2013/2014.
The Flames get O'Reilly for free. Colorado and the NHL can sort out their own squabble.
