Either way, the loophole is that (if he won) he would have got the player without having to go through the waiver process even though the CBA requires waivers.
I don't know if he was doing that intentionally or was just ignorant. But he might have been playing the loophole (which would explain why he didn't clarify the interpretation with the NHL prior to submitting the offer sheet).

But he wasn't the only one making an offer sheet
Not much of a loop hole
I'm not blasting him for his ignorance, but I think its flat out stupid to be giving him credit for finding this so called "loop hole' ... this "loop hole" didn't stop any other team from trying to tender ROR a offer sheet.
