It only makes sense for Sherman to announce to ROR and the rest of the league that making an offer sheet is legally futile and pointless unless you're the Columbus Blue Jackets. Takes away and bargaining power that ROR would have had since Colorado has proved repeatedly to stay strong to their principles.

I agree that Sherman (and most everybody save perhaps the smarty pants in Vancouver if you believe them) did not know about the waiver risk.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're getting at with CBJ but Sportsnet reported tonight that you can't claim your own player.
