No, because the Flames would not need to offersheet O'Reilly in that situation.

LOL. Don't be so sure. You can't pretend to know the inner workings of the NHL and I doubt that the Avs would be prepared to litigate this if the NHL ruled the Avs had matched on the basis of an official team announcement.

Can't trade for an RFAs rights once an offer sheet is signed.

Does an offer sheet negate a trade?

Avs can't trade him if they matched the offer sheet.

Avs can't trade a player who has signed an offer sheet.

Therefore, no trade is even possible.

Come on man, you should know this. They teach it in RMIN 743.

I don't buy that. This thread has plenty to do with longer term frustration.

Many of them are owned by public companies. Even then that's besides the point.

If you have someone by the balls then it's your obligation to yank.

Their GM held a press conference announcing to the world they were matching. I can't see any scenario where the NHL wouldn't consider that as binding on the Avs.
Colorado has to present O'Reilly and the league with a "First Refusal Exercise Notice" to make it official. If they haven't done that then it doesn't matter what they said.

Hopefully no one can get a hold of Feaster because the Flames took away the company cellphone after dismissing him.

Where's the poll option for "No, because I enjoy watching this train wreck"?

The fact that 18% are basically saying no harm no foul just floors me.

If this does turn out to be true, I wonder if Sherman will take some heat from Denver media/fans for making a deal so quickly at a price they clearly didn't want to pay, considering he didn't even have to do it, if it is in fact true.

I know Feaster looks the worst here, especially from our point of view. But Sherman clearly didn't understand the rules either.

Where is the choice that this was a good move. Everyone acts like we'd be drafting the most amazing player ever with our pick, but drafts are a risk and ror is proven. 55 points before 22 is quite awesome for a player. ROR would have been great and it addresses our needs at center

I voted no because I thought this was just about putting in the offer sheet and losing out. Now that I see all about the waiver fiasco I change my vote to yes.

A) Being owned by a public company does not make you one.

B) No, it's not. Look up the Business Judgement Rule.
