I think there's no way the league would've let the Flames lose the first rounder and O'Reilly for nothing. That makes everyone look bad, the Flames, the Avs and especially the league. Pretty sure the league was glad the Avs matched so that they didn't have to rule on he situation.
Let's not forget that the Flames weren't the only team looking to sign O'Reilly to the offer sheet. Clearly their wording was ambiguous.
