I also don't get how the Blackhawks can't veto this when the Bruins vetoed Manitoba Bears for the team that eventually became Winnipeg Jets.

Probably because the Bruins and Rangers don't care about some piddly junior teams making a microscopic about of money off of them. The reverse situation is far more lucrative because people actually buy NHL jerseys and it's a league that generates billions of dollars. Kind of stupid for the Knights not to accept whatever offer Foley gave them though.
