Except at no point was he ever on Calgary's reserve list BECAUSE he signed the offer sheet which in turn is the same as the SPC in the end as it outlines his terms as an employee of the Flames...which he could not be if he was not under contract....no?
Also, and correct me if I am missing something, if we take your line of thinking further, would it not then be true that every single player in Europe right now can be signed without fear of going thru waivers?
