Again, he would have been working against the league, who drafted the clause.

I thought external documents that resolve ambiguity are an exception to the parol evidence rule in contracts.
And although the league drafted the agreement, I don't know if they would necessarily be set on fighting Feaster's protest.
Finally, wouldn't Feaster just keep ROR in Europe so that he avoids waivers? ROR would have been kept in limbo until it was sorted out. I could see the NHLPA becoming annoyed with the requirement.
