We were all confused about his $1M salary this year with the $2.5M signing bonus and salary ramping up next year. How is no one considering that part of the agreement with ROR was that he stayed in the A this year and played up next year? (And sorry if I missed someone else bringing this up)
Seems pretty likely. A $1M salary (he won't receive anyway) has a low cap impact for the team, and the $2.5M compensates what he would have made this year playing for the Flames if there wasn't this waivers issue.
IMO, Feaster knew all about it, and ROR was perfectly happy to skip this season and join the Flames next season.

According to Bob Mckenzie he would have had to go through waivers regardless

A GM admitting the mistake is like an athlete getting busted for performance enhancing drugs and admitting it right away. It's not gonna happen. Feaster will apologize to Oprah a few years into retirement.

Umm no, that's not true at all. Unless you are highly versed in the CBA, including all of the accompanying documents pertinent to an interpretation of it, you have no idea if he (and the NHLPA and O'Reilly's reps) were wrong.
Daly is not an Emperor, his word is not final.

1. Feaster has come right out and said he interpreted the rule differently than the NHL's interpretation.
2. You can't just have a player "sit out". If Colorado didn't match, O'Reilly would have gone straight to waivers regardless of Calgary's plan for him.

Bob McK already commented that teams are not allowed to offer sheet a player, then not put him on the roster.
If Colorado hadn't matched, ROR was going on waivers. Nothing Feaster could do about it.

Still the way it is worded is certainly not clear so it would definitely go to court if the Av's did not match. It would be the NHL vs the NHLPA and the Flames.

It was a technicality that could have cost the Flames a first and third round pick with nothing in return. Thankfully it didn't work out that way, but if it did it would definitely not be seen as a small issue...

It's not a stupid technicality.
It's a rule in the NHL CBA and has been for 9 years and most recently a new exemption was added to the rule which excluded a teams own RFA's.

Yes, his job to know the rules and throw King in as well.
No draft pick until 4th round! out $2.5MM and no O'Reilly the size of the error would have been collossal.

If Flames keep Feaster after this, they're really going to be testing my will to continue being a fan of this team. Now I know what it's like to support the Islanders. Yeesh.

In part, but so did the NHLPA, and they apparently side with Feaster.

Regardless of who's right, it's a massive oversight to not check with the league on the new language to see how they interpret it. Look at the Radulov situation last year. Nashville made a point of clearing it with the league before making any moves because one could argue that he should've been subject to waivers. They didn't just bring him in and hope for the best.

Except it is not clearly written that it only pertains to a teams own RFA's.

I understand, but that isn't good enough. You are dealing with big dollars and the possibility that we could have ended up without a 1st and 3rd round pick, and a player that wouldn't end up suiting up for the Flames. I am sorry, but for all the jabs we take at the team up North, this oversight by management is indefensible. They are only saving face right now and saying they disagree, but they don't provide their interpretation, only that it is different from the leagues. Feaster isn't the only one that ok'd this offer sheet, but he is ultimately responsible.

Does not matter if other gm's knew or not. At the end of the day only Calgary's name will be stapled to this fiasco. Flames could not afford bad PR.
This will hurt them in the UFA market. Agents are going to tell their clients that Calgary is a mess. Considering the do not want to go rebuild mode, this hurts them.

A part of me wants to lose the picks and the player.
Just so frustrated with this team, maybe then our management and ownership can get their heads out of their behinds.
Honestly, it's pathetic and embarassing being a Flames fan right now. Those of you who are going to sugarcoat and tell me to get off the bandwagon, screw off! There is no bandwagon to climb as the wheels have come off and 28 other teams (other than the Islanders) are mocking us for the past 2 seasons.

If Feaster proved it to be ambiguous though, wouldn't any court rule against the side that wrote it (in this case, Daly) in accordance to Contra Proferentem? His interpretation may be more correct, but unless it's unambiguous in the CBA, it's pretty meaningless.
Not trying to be antagonistic, but that's my interpretation of law. I could be wrong here.
