Why would Vegas even consider this?
I believe the idea is that Chicago would trade TVR to a different team whose 3rd-best protected d-man isn't as good as TVR and would take that d-man (plus other assets) in return. In that scenario, TVR isn't available to Vegas because he'd be protected by his new team.

If Vegas wants him, they'll take on Kruger in exchange for Chicago agreeing to not trade him elsewhere before the expansion draft.
