Daly's comments were well after it was matched.

No one had raised any concern about an offer sheet until it was already matched.

There was seemingly one blogger in the whole world who knew that O'Reilly had played 2 games in Russia after the cut-off date and he was obviously sitting on that knowledge waiting for his moment in the sun. Then, he got his wish and O'Reilly actually signed an offer sheet, but before he was able to post his revelation that O'Reilly would need to clear waivers, Colorado had already announced they were matching the offer and O'Reilly was getting ready to play in their next game.

Then, he posted his blog anyway, but it was all moot by that point.

Daly was eventually asked about it and he gave the easy answer at that point because it truly didn't matter.
