Going back to the Conny interview, I think he put to bed the ROR offer sheet debate. He said they called league lawyers beforehand and made sure everything was kosher before tendering the offer.
By the letter of the law, yes he would have needed to clear reentry waivers. However, the language was unclear about lockouts, and the NHL lawyer gave them the all-clear before making the offer. I think it was much ado about nothing.
