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 and 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.

What proof is there that ROR & co. weren't forthcoming with the fact that he was playing?

The rules have been the same for the last 8.5 years. The only difference is they introduced an exemption for signing your own RFAs.

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.

You must be a lawyer now or in your past life.
You are the only person on here who is arguing another interpretation of the exemption. An interpretation, might I add, that would make the exemption itself, completely pointless and therefore one that cannot be correct.

You seem to be missing the entire point of the thread.
Ignoring that though, the structure of the ROR deal should be scary to anyone who owns his rights.

It took some writer of a Sports network to find something a slew of laywers from the Flames, Avs, various other NHL teams, the NHL, and the NHLPA couldn't find. If this turns out to be true, everyone looks stupid except for that writer.

This may be a dumb question but wouldn't he have to be placed on the active roster? I really don't care if he plays this year, so what prevents them from suspending him or something. It sucks yes, but at least we don't lose him for nothing

How do you know that this is the case?
Maybe everyone else knew but the Flames?

I agree with that. I don't think he had much rope left so I can see this pushing it over the edge. I guess my question is more 'would you be willing to forgive this if other things were going well?'

Misery may love company, but it doesn't excuse ignorance or incompetence.

Not that I agree with his interpretation, but your response is basically: "LOL! A loophole in the CBA? Never happen."

Who hired Feaster? Did D. Sutter have anything to do with his acquisition?

How do we know that other teams weren't aware of it? It doesn't change much from the Avs perspective, and none of the other teams signed him to an offer sheet. This whole situation may very well be why nobody else signed him.

It was Feaster's job to know. But a lot of smart, informed people inside and outside the NHL did not know about O'Reilly and waivers.

I agree...something doesn't add up. The entire Flames organization and all the other sports stations didn't catch this, if true. It seems crazy that no one else would.

This.
People need to relax here. If Feaster was wrong, there's several dozen other lawyers, GMs, owners, agents, etc... who were also wrong.
It was not a simple case of Feaster not seeing the rule. The rule is totally ambiguous. Daly is making an arbitrary interpretation.
