Not saying Feaster should've done it, but I can see how the mistake could have been made. I suppose the Nabokov situation should've been some clue, but it was a lockout...a ton of players were coming back from Europeean leagues.

The fact is it happened to Feaster and it is his JOB, not mine, to know that the rule is there.
HUGE mistake on his part and he's damn lucky the Avs matched the offer sheet.
