But it’s on freaking capfriendly. Ottawa messed up but Vegas didn’t do their homework. Even more so if not going to cap hell is depending on this trade.
It is on CapFriendly, but the no-trade lists aren't. CapFriendly is also an unofficial fan/media resource.
Ottawa could have sent over the wrong info. Vegas could have mixed-up no-trade lists. They're looking at a lot of stuff on deadline day. Vegas isn't blameless in this, but Ottawa is very likely a factor.
Friedman was saying a few hours ago that there had been some type of belief that the m-NTC had been voided somehow. Dadonov has the receipts that his list for this season was in on time.
What I think may have happened was that:
Dadonov files his list with Ottawa in June.
He gets traded to Vegas on July 27th, Ottawa figures that since the lists are with the team, they'll get him to submit a new list to them. You don't really put your current team as a Y/N option, do you? We hear about teams asking players to update their lists.
Vegas can't find any lists, so they figure he didn't submit one in time, and can be traded anywhere.
It's a big leap to think that a guy would willingly give up an m-NTC. Vegas should have looked into that.
