I don't want to jump on the fire Feaster band wagon but in all honesty, why the hell wouldn't Feaster and Co. call the NHL to clarify something like this before they submitted their offer sheet? Their "interpretation" of the rule was essentially a guess and I cannot believe that they'd risk draft picks and money without being one hundred percent certain that ROR wouldn't have to pass through waivers. The whole thing screams Bush league. Really you couldn't be bothered to make a 5 minute phone call to find out exactly how this rule worked?
