Well one team that could have claimed him on waivers isn’t a bunch of teams. And I honestly don’t believe any team would have complained in that instance. Not much of a history of franchises complaining about league decisions. And if one team did complain, so what? Doubt they would complain louder than the Flames would have.

Public comments after the point became moot are less informative IMO. Daly didn’t mention if league would have considered alternative solutions.

Again just my view that the league wasn’t too keen on seeing a franchise lose multiple picks because of a poor rules interpretation.
