It's the fact that Feaster says they thought about it, but they were prepared to fight after the fact... that is the part that bothers me.
I think Valo is probably correct that the NHL likely would have voided the deal and gave the Flames a mulligan if they indeed walked into a trap unknowingly, but the fact that Feaster admits that they pondered the double meaning and planned on fighting it, would probably kill a lot of the sympathy within the NHL head office. Feaster pretty much admitted that he wanted to exploit the MOU, which was drafted very quickly with the intention of getting everyone back to work. Not only did he virtually pull a "Lowe" and kill 2nd contracts before the ink was dry, but he was already looking for exploits.

The funny thing about that is if he found one that worked we'd be praising him for digging through everything and finding a loophole.
