Should the offer sheet have not been matched the Flames would not have lost him on waivers. Feaster is a lawyer, and was supposedly aware of the restrictions. I am sure they had a plan. Pretty sure he said as much, but as the offer was matched it is a moot point.

Yea, it's easy to say that on the surface it's a crazy dumb move and a big mistake, however I also get the sense that they knew perfectly well what they were doing and would have had any waiver issues negated...and despite how bad it looks to risk those draft picks, they were gunnin for a player they probably felt was worth more than those picks. Anyway I don't mean to re-hash the O'Reilly thing...
I think we may be over-analyzing a bit the current situation, Jay is obviously busy trying to plan the next course of action, which happens to be the most critical since his arrival in Calgary, and he certainly doesn't want to be answering constant questions about Jarome everyday....
