They do not contradict each other. Colorado, as they chose to do, was fully within their rights to not have the player leave their roster. When the offersheet is signed, the Flames don't move O'Reilly's NHL profile over to their team page, there is no transaction history with the league between the two teams and his original club retains his rights until they choose not to have them.
