Hence, the exemption following the player to team B in case of a trade.
The trade clarification actually makes it more likely that Feaster was wrong because why would they bother to clarify that the exemption would follow the player with a trade? If the player was exempt in case of signing by 'any' team, the trade clarification is irrelevant.
Therefore, there is a very good chance that Feaster was wrong... and should therefore be fired for risking 2 picks on a "hunch"...

I disagree, particularly with the bolded part. I think the "trade" clarification indicates that, for further clarity, the exemption (which attaches to any player, by virtue of their presence on a Club's RFA list) applies even if such a player is traded--that is, it further indicates that the exemption is not affected by which team signs the player to a PSC after the season begins.

I do agree that the clause is poorly written though.
