You're right. And we should add that this would have been all the more important in light of the fact that this all happened while the very new CBA was still in the process of being written up. There were clearly a number of teams who were confused on this issue, since O'Reilly signed one of a couple of offers, and he, the Avalanche, and the NHL were apparently fielding inquiries from several teams.
