Looks like it is confirmed that teams can trade assets to Vegas in exchange fot not selecting a player in the expansion draft:

If @GoldenKnights close in time, they will likely be permitted to make trades prior to March 1 #NHL trade deadline.

These include expansion draft consideration trades (e.g. assets to agree to not select Player X in expansion draft).

Vegas @GoldenKnights, however, would not be allowed to trade for any active player this season, even if already injured and out for the year

In theory, Vegas would be allowed to trade for a prospect playing junior this season, or a contract/protected player playing overseas.
