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.
Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunatley CBA is not part of grad teachings. But option valuation is.

He is ultimately responsible and accountable for the decision.

I actually don't think the paperwork has been filed. You can say you're going to match but until you sign on the dotted line, you haven't matched.

Such a mistake would likely be a lot more forgivable if Feaster was providing a good on-ice product. He is not, however, which magnifies this error.

I wouldn't fire Feaster for this alone, but I would fire him and other staff members for the job they have collectively done here.

Exactly. If there was someone under him who was supposed to be his "guy" for these types of issues, Feaster would've hired him and put his trust in him making him accountable for his performance. The Flames can't hide behind the CBA either as this would've been the exact same under the previous CBA. The only difference is the Avs could've re-signed him without putting him on waivers.

The fact that he has failed miserably as a GM probably makes the hate boner much harder but regardless of record this blunder would've had a significant impact on the overall view of Feaster.

Only reason it might be is the Avs urgency to get him in lineup. But even then it's a pretty quick turnaround.

As one of those, I honestly misread the answers (in particular, the 2nd)

Mine should be the one above: Everybody failed to read the rules. In fact, I don't think it was even mentioned yesterday in most articles. Feaster wasn't alone.

It shouldn't matter what a teams record is. If this offer sheet went through and the flames ended up giving away a potential top 10 pick as well as losing ROR on waivers, it would go down as the dumbest move in hockey history.

Those are probably the people who read the thread title without getting updated on the waiver situation.

Who gets priority in such a waived player though? If it's current waiver order, then the Avs probably wouldn't get O'Reilly back even if they wanted him.

No. This confirms for me that Feaster is exactly the kind of guy I want to see running the Flames franchise going forward, for hopefully many years.

I think if it was perceived that Feaster was doing a good job the tone of the conversation would be different.

However, if a practicing lawyer had made an error like this AND the deal had gone through, he'd be reporting himself to local bar or his client would be.

For the lawyers:

Is is possible that Calgary would have any recourse, being that ROR and his agent were not completely forthcoming with the fact he played after the season started? Could the offer sheet then become null and void?

In my perfect world, ROR could then remain ineligible to play. There is no offer sheet to match ... in my perfect world.

Sigh. It is frustrating though, that this team is forcing me to lower my expectations for a perfect world. This, rightfully or not, blows away any creditability this management team may have acquired with some of the astute signings they made. (Hudler, Wideman). This may be enough ammo for the Feaster haters to get their wish. I hope Weisbrod does survive.

Go on a general NHL forum and look at their opinions. This would've been one of the biggest screw-ups in NHL history. This isn't something that would've been shrugged off if we were a good team. Look at the Blackhawks RFA mess a few years back - this is significantly worse, but that was a major issue then and cost their GM his job.

I know Feaster looks the worst here, especially from our point of view. But Sherman clearly didn't understand the rules either.
Umm, yes, the Avs had to do it regardless. Their options today are exactly what they were yesterday:

1. Match the deal
2. Lose the player in exchange for Calgary's first and third rounder.

There is no third option for them.

Noone understood the rules, because the rules were never out lined. Daly is making them up off the top of his head.

If Daly's interpretation is correct, Feaster messed up, O'Reilly's agent messed up, Sherman messed up, the plethora of other agents/lawyers/GMs who were involved in the offer sheet process or considered making an offer sheet messed up.
