Though I guess it's a lot less sensational to run with the headline: "According to one of two equally-reasonable interpretations of an obscure clause in the MOU the Flames might have had to put a player on waivers in a hypothetical scenario that can no longer happen." That might not have attracted as many eyeballs, but it would at least have been accurate.

People need to settle down about this. The clause is somewhat vague, but to me Feaster's interpretation of it is eminently reasonable in any case. There's really nothing to see here.
I dunno, man.

this whole thing is a story because the reporter bothered to make a phone call to clarify things with the league. The league seems pretty clear on the ruling but were unaware O'Reilly had played games in the KHL after January 19th.
