I undertand that, but I have yet to see anyone present any passages that would support that assertion.
I will present a passage again "All players on a team's reserve list are exempt"
I have yet to see any passage that suggests that it refers only to the team that holds their rights.
O'Reilly was on Colorado's reserve list and was thus exempt.
There is no passage that I am aware of that says if another team presents an offer sheet, he would no longer be exempt.
