At the risk of turning this thread into yet another ROR whinefest, this is what would have happened:
The league would have said O'Reilly would have had to pass through waivers. 29 other teams would have put a claim in. He would be gone. Sean Monahan would be a Colorado Avalanche centre right now.
All the Flames could really have done at that point was try to press its case and sue for damages if they could convince anyone but themselves that their interpretation was correct. But in the meantime, our rebuild would have been dead before it started.
