I see the rationale but I don't get how this deflects the GM from criticism as the OP states. We all know Jay has an extensive legal background that likely puts his CBA knowledge far above the average GM.
We can come up with excuses on his behalf all day but the bottom line is that he nearly put this franchise into a comical status because he (or a member of his staff) didn't take the time to clarify the rules.
