Bottom line, the Flames got screwed by a broken process which needs to be fixed. The next round of CBA negotiations is likely the earliest.

Honestly curious as to how this might apply, as I'm not a lawyer. The CBA defines the players' relationship to the teams and league, but this is an issue of the Flames vs. the league, is it not?
