Not this again.
The MOU wording:
All Players on a Club’s Reserve List and Restricted Free Agent List will be exempt from the application of CBA 13.23 Waivers in the case of a mid-season signing.
For further clarity, if Club A trades such a Player to Club B and Club B signs the Player to an SPC, such Player will be exempt from the application of CBA 13.23.
O'Reilly was on "a Club's" Reserve List, being the Avs, thus was exempt from 13.23, which is the waiver requirement.
After the MOU they changed the wording such that the player had to be on the signing Club's Reserve List, thus changing the intent and wording.
Feaster read it correctly at the time. The actual wording was changed. Calgary would not have lost O'Reilly and the picks.
