Okay, it was a good read and I like the back story.
But the whole reason for this article to be written was this bit...

The circumstances would have been much different if Calgary’s offer sheet was accepted.
That would have created a potentially disastrous situation where the Flames had to send two decent draft picks to Colorado before losing the rights to O’Reilly immediately afterwards.

The writer made his own interpretation of the clause and wrote an article around it. I saw a reference that "he was told" his interpretation was the case but I'm not sure by whom. Does he say his interpretation was confirmed by the league, or any other source? Not that I can see.
Hell, many other GMs and even the league itself wasn't clear on that clause. How could the journalist be?
