Also, if it officially came from the league, I'd like to see a link in the OP. So far, I have only seen twitter speculation.
Why would the league come out with an official report about something that didn't happen?

In a summary yes, to play O'Reilly this year the Flames would have given up their first and thrid pick as RFA compensation... paid $2.5 million as a signing bonus to O'Reilly, then put him on waivers were he almost certainley would have been claimed.

Either that, or:

The Flames convince O'Reilly to sit out the rest of the season and suspend him, and he just plays for us next year for a whopping ~$9,000,000+

If Burke was hired that means he will have gotten through to ownership that the team needs to be rebuilt.

Other than the Kessel fiasco, the man wins trades. I would love to have him going into the trade deadline to get as much back as he could for our veterans.

That said i highly doubt the flames would even consider him. If Feaster is fired look for another GM that wants to stay the course with the " win now" mandate.

I only see 2 mistakes made by Burke... the Kessel trade (which is obviously huge, but still), and his loyalty to his coach.

But he is a good GM...

So long as he doesn't do a Kessel 2.0 trade.

Worst case they would have lost the picks and kept him out until next year

Within the Flames management I'd like to know who's responsibility it is to know the ins and outs of the CBA to catch this stuff.

The buck stop at the GM but also whoever the CBA Guy is within that management group.

Yikes.
Apparently last year, it would have meant that he would have had to go through waivers even to play for the Avs, but that was changed for the new CBA which now allows for a team to sign their own RFAs at any time.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
What's fascinating is that a change in the new CBA is all that separated COL from having to put O'Reilly on waivers now to get him in lineup

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
In old CBA, 13:23 specified any player who plays in Europe after start of NHL reg season needs waivers playing in same season in NHL.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
But article 13 of recent MOU, says following: All players on a Club's Reserve List and RFA list will be exempt from application of 13:23...

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
In other words, in this new CBA, team can sign one of its own RFAs or draft picks out of Europe in mid-season and get in lineup w/o waivers.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
When I first saw CGY would've had to put ROR on waivers, first thought was: So does COL. But new application of 13:23 in new CBA saves Avs.

Whats with the Burke love?
His Vancouver team was crap (outside of drafting both Sedins). He inherited the champion Ducks team. He blew with Toronto.

He is not a good GM.

Calgary Flames - it's only until you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.

Yeah I'd dump this clown show from Ken Kling on down to Feaster. If they've lost confidence in Feaster then he needs to be moved now. We are at a critical juncture in the state of this organization and we need hockey people who understand rebuilding and what it takes to build a contender. Every day that this mockery of hockey management stays on the deeper the grooves it sets for this team.

Tear the walls down.

How do they do that? It says that he would have pass through waivers to even be loaned anywhere.

The NHLPA would protest for sure if the Flames tried to keep a member from playing this year (and rightfully so).

Could they have even done that? What would be the justification for suspending him?

Just a monumental disaster barely averted.

I'm chomping at the bit to hear what Feaster has to say.

Even with his gift for gab, he's going to have a tough time spin doctoring this blunder.

I don't think he would. He learned a valuable lesson, that when rebuilding you don't rush it.

Well you would have convince O'Reilly not to report and then suspend him for not reporting.

Yes he should, and if he does, it's likely he never gets another GM job in the NHL.
