It's entirely possible the Flames verified with the NHL front office before they submitted the offer sheet and that they were under the same impression as the Flames. Do you have any evidence they drafted and submitted this in a vaccum?

Do you have any evidence that any other team was under the same impression? Do you have any proof that the Flames did indeed verify their interpretation with the league? Do you have any evidence that this offer wasn't submitted without the slightest inquiry about the rule?
I on the other hand, have evidence that this was a rule (disputed or not) that could have cost this team their 1st and 3rd round pick (the only two picks they have in the first 3 rounds) and then some and that the Flames sumbitted an offer sheet without bringing any public inquiry or attention to this potentially disasterous exemption. I also know that ROR's agent has been quoted as saying he had no idea about the rule which would directly disputes Feasters statement where he claims to have spoken with the players representation. I would like to add that in this statement he never once said that he contacted the NHL about this issue before the submission of this offer sheet.
Using the evidence I provided above, I have come to the conclusion that anyone who believes this LAWYER should have a job leading an NHL team after this potential debacle that would have been widely regartted as the worst move in hockey histroy, is bats*** crazy.
