It can be something as simple as "Prior to the expansion draft they didn't offer me a Limited No Trade Clause, now they did and we agreed upon the deal".
The league can release a statement, and Las Vegas can complain, but it's not going to stop teams from doing it.

It's definitely assured we're going 7/3/1, right?
Gaudreau, Monahan, Backlund, Bennett, Frolik, Ferland, Brouwer.
Gio/Brodie/Dougie
Gillies
Stajan, Bouma, Hathaway, and Freddie exposed up front.
Stone (UFA), Wideman (UFA), Engelland (UFA), Jokipakka (RFA), Bartkowski.
The Flames are going to give Vegas absolutely nothing of value. At this point, I'd bet they take Kulak over anyone we have available at the big league level. Maybe they want some vet leadership or something so they take Stajan, but every team in the league has a Matt Stajan in some form, and they'll all be left unprotected.
