I'd like to see a statement from the NHL personally, now that this has blown up on sportsnet.

Can you imagine if the Avs didn't sign him and then the leafs pick ROR of the waivers for free!!!!!

It would have been so funny if the Flames got burned on that and he ended up in Columbus or something. Too bad it went the way it did

I'm inclined to agree here. If they found out about this obscure rule after getting O'Reilly, I'm sure they'd just keep him out of the line-up until next year, when he could come in waiver exempt.

Or challenge the rule with the league, arguing that an exemption should be made for RFA's on offer sheets.

nvm, I assume what you meant was the second they found out he'd have to go on waivers if he was to play this season, they would've kept him out.

Not so fast. That rule applies under the old CBA. Under the new CBA that rule does not apply to RFA's.

It would have been a court battle for the lawyers to fight out.

Unbelievable. Is it crazy to think Feaster and Sherman could have worked something out prior to get this resolved and ROR on the ice? They basically forced the issue and have ROR for at least 1 year. I'll scratch your back...too out there?

Good find by Pecafanfan http://www.sportsnet.ca/h...anche_match_ryan_oreilly/

O'Reilly had the Avs not matched would have been put through waivers to play with the Flames What a bunch of morons, the Blue Jackets would be laughing all the way to the bank.

- AdamFrench

Oh god

So Colorado gets a 1st and a second, some other team gets O'Reilly, and Calgary winds up missing out on a top-10 player for literally nothing.

Amazing

Makes Colorado that much dumber for matching.

haha, I have no idea, I'm re-doing a box cover in photoshop that someone else botched up.

Spaghetti sounds real good though.

Yes keep him out for the year rather than exposing him to waivers...

So, are the Av's pissed? Do they now put O'Reilly on the block? They clearly wanted no part of the contract he's ended up getting.

Could it be possible for Feaster and Sherman to have worked something out prior, to force ROR's hand. Avs have him on the ice now for at least 1 year now. Feaster says you owe me - later. Too crazy?

Yep...Still embarrassing for Feaster but they would have exposed him to waivers...
